Mac and Nikon Capture = Slooooowwwww

[Mark_A]

I just converted to a Mac (Powermac dual 1.8 w/ 3G memory) from a PC (P4 2.0 w/ 1G memory). I shoot tethered to the computer in the studio and here are the results of my informal tests. (D1X)

PC - Raw NEF Image - 13 seconds from shutter to resolved image on screen
Mac - Same - 17 seconds from shutter to resolved image on screen

The difference I see is in the actual firewireing of the image. On the PC the image appears in 3 seconds and takes the rest to resolve. On the Mac the image appears in about 11 seconds and takes the rest to resolve.

I did the same test with Fuji's software (and my S2) and the Mac image appears in less than 6 seconds and just about the same on the PC.

My question for the Mac users out there is, does anyone know of any tweeks to make the capture faster using Nikon Capture?

Thanks!
