38 hours that's what took my PC to convert 1035 50D raws, of course you understand this is a huge amount of time...
I was converting them with DPP, applying distortions, vignetting and CA removal also.
I have a standard 3GHZ 1GB ram PC, I know that's not enough but the time spent seems outrageously excessive
Is it DPP ??? CS5 needed much less time (4 or 5 hours) to resize and sharpen all those pics

CPU power must not be underestimated. I wrote my experiences in another forum at beginning of this year. I made the switch from this system,
Intel Pentium 4 2.6GHz FSB133 HT
1.75 GB DDR2 RAM
Geforce4 4200 graphics-card
Windows XP 32-bit
which took Lightroom 2.5 all-in-all 175s to process 9 RAF Fuji S5 raw files without modification.
Using my new system,
Intel i5-750, a native quad-core processor from the new Intel I-Core series + motherboard with Intel I55 chipset
4GB of DDR3-1333 OCZ Platinum Ram
ATI Radeon 4650HD graphic-card with 512MB 128-bit Ram
Quiet coolers for the CPU and graphic-card
Windows 7 64-bit
the time for processing the same files with the same settings under LR 2.5 took 18s, an increase in speed of about 10x. I later added another 4GB of RAM, but haven't seen much use of it so far as I seldom open multiple files in an editor at the same time.
