Just thought I'd chime in to say that 2 CPUs doesn't necessarily make 
it faster; I think it's painfully slow on my "old" dual G4/1G 
(non-wind-tunnel, 512MB RAM, 10.2.3).  Its performance for moving large 
amounts of data or large numbers of files to/from other volumes is 
terrible (e.g. copying data from CDs/DVDs, moving GBs of files/data 
around on the local drive, or moving moving GBs of data to other local 
or remote volumes).  So slow and unreliable that I now exclusively move 
my large data/files via CLI using rsyncX.  I haven't had other issues 
with Finder, but this alone makes me hope they make it better.  And 
yes, I've sent Apple feedback.
