One of the unexpected surprises I got when I first tried RAW a couple of months ago was the computer slowdown caused by the larger files at 21-22 meg each vs hi-res JPG from my 60D at 15-18meg each. I used to have a fast computer...5 years ago. I still haven't upgraded to a newer dual or quad processor computer or Windows 7.
I now have to figure out where I can come up with a couple grand to upgrade my computer and a TON of software that will no longer work under Windows 7 but did in XP. Every time I have upgraded my computer, I've had to blow $300-$2000 upgrading software that no longer works in the new machine. Or...I may just keep the old one and use the new one for photo processing only. I already have two on a KVM, so why not make it a threesome? Problem is, I'm still paying off a recent bout with "L" disease...it keeps going and going...
