Aperture Workflow Speed is Almost 3x Faster Than Lightroom

Thomas Boyd has done a workflow speed test to compare Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom.
Byod imported a whopping 600 RAW Canon images and waited for each image to render before moving to the next.
The rendering performance of Lightroom was dramatically slower than Aperture. Not only was rendering slow, there was a one or two second lag between the time of pushing the right arrow button and the time it took for the next image to appear - unrendered. It was excruciatingly slow. I wasn't prepared for that.
It took Boyd under 8 minutes in Aperture 3 and just under 23 minutes in Lightroom 3 to complete the test.
Take a look at the video below in which the entire procedure is documented.
