The largest performance increase in the near future is going to come from
the new multi-core chips, not 64-bit processors. Next year Intel will be
rolling out a number of new cores with multiple processors in them. With
good software multi-core processors will really speed up image processing.
I believe Photoshop already has some multi-processor support built in.
