64-bit Windows 7: 3m 57s
32-bit Windows XP: 8m 57s

ie, the Win7 machine does the conversion 2.3x faster, despite having slower CPUs.
Wow! Thanks Harry. That makes me every more want to upgrade to 64/win7...

I have a 64 bit chip/computer but still running win xp 32bit never wanting to go to Vista.
