G4 speed

When they say that the G4 will run Photoshop 1.5 times faster than the G3, I assume they are comparing the two at the same clock speed. So, a 600mhz G4 would run Photoshop 225% faster than a 400mhz G3. Of course, the processor isn't the only bottleneck; there is also the memory subsystem. I'm sure they are quoting an average performance (i.e. sometimes the g4 is 3x faster and sometimes it has no advantage over the G3--partially due to memory bottlenecks).
