Macworld: News: First Look: Adobe Lightroom beta:

At this stage of development, Lightroom's sorting tools aren't as sexy as what you'll find in Aperture (see "Aperture and Lightroom" below). On the other hand, Lightroom runs wonderfully on a 1.5GHz PowerBook G4 while Aperture bogs down significantly on the same machine. This gives Lightroom an edge for field photographers who depend on portable computers to manage their work.

Of course, in light of yesterdays MacWorld announcements - particularly the new MacBook Pro (I hate that name), I'll be interested to hear how Aperture runs on the new dual-core intel chip powered portables. Not that I can justify upgrading yet, of course.
