With photo editing, how much speed can be gained by overclocking?
In particular, I'd be interested in applying that question to a system using the currently popular Intel i5 2500K CPU and loaded with 16GB or RAM.

You still have to wait for disk, for RAM, so the gains are limited. My i7-2600K rarely gets above 50% CPU usage, the software can't take advantage of all the cores yet.

I don't do any editing batch processing so I just tried rendering 1:1 previews and exporting the same 50 RAWS to JPEG. There are gains but not huge by any means.

Just go over to overclock.net and there is a sticky thread of instructions, several of them actually. http://www.overclock.net/f/355/ssd silvrr wrote in post #13621021  I got a Crucial M4 SSD for Christmas and was surprised to see there was not many gains in the lightroom benchmarks I have been doing.

I have a lot of hardware to run and my system cold boots to desktop and on the internet in 25sec. With less hardware I know people that get it booted in 20sec or less.
