This bug is still present in Maverick (which will be 10.10). Manipulating an image from a Nikon D90 is over 100 times slower than manipulating the *EXACT* same image with the camera maker set to "NoName" in its metadata - and reverting it back to "NIKON CORPORATION" makes it go over 100 times slower again.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THIS BUG!
