It is far slower to work on D800E (lossless compressed) 40MB files than M9
(uncompressed) 36MB files.

I have a reasonably grunty machine so I went looking at what the bottleneck
is......

Mid-2009 Mac Pro (2x 2.26 quad-core Intel 5520 CPU) was running at over
1300% CPU (16 threads available) briefly while doing minor changes, be aware
of this limitation if thinking of upping your camera MP ;-)
