What a waste of money and what a waste of good hardware...
I first witnessed this in a Mac mag at the time of MacOS 8, that did a how-to on creating 32-bit icons. 32-bit, when i was running an 8 color magic wb theme that smoked in terms of responsiveness. At the same time I was learning 3D rendering in Cinema$d in Amiga format. So thats what the "creative mac" types do with their time: create slow resource-hogging icons. And most of the time the icons give you little clue as to what they represent, create visual clutter and generally slow your work flow in addition to slowing up the hardware performance.
Thats why Lightwave all versions use buttons with text rather than pics and an 4-8 color interface. Thats why I use MagicWB on a 256 color cgx 1024x768 with dock buttons with text only, and I always configure text buttons rather than pics if I can. people have forgotten that form follows function: if it works well for you it will look fine.
