I didn't read through the thread (sorry) but
a) what kind of a gpu do you have?
b) have you tried Darktable?
Darktable is what I use in linux and it uses opencl to process the pictures on the gpu which is waaaaaay faster than on cpu. You need a gpu card with loads of ram though (I have 1GB and it works but seems to be not *quite* enough, I'd recommend more).
Darktable is also open source, free to download and use, I def recommend you try it.

Hey guys,

Has anyone experimented with image data converter's time requirements to batch process eg 1000 raw pictures?

If someone could post some benchmarks using sony's software, it would be great.

I use ubuntu 12.04 (all updates are current as of this minute) and sony's software on WINE.

It does the job but it stalls unexpectedly and so it does on windows sometimes but on linux ALWAYS, for no apparent reason (no logs with usefull info).
