I disagree completely. I've been running Capture NX, at the same time as
Adobe CS2, and Outlook, and Excel, and...

I've never seen a performance lag, or any slowdown in my apps at all.

I'm running Win XP Pro, 4GB RAM, and a 150gb WD Raptor C Drive (where my
Apps and O/S are located), Core 2 Duo 3.2ghz.

All of my data files are on my 2TB hard disk array of drives D and E.

Upgrade your machine...

I use Vista 64 with 4GB RAM. .Net isn't an issue.

CA correction is auto. I don't know how it works - but "extremely well"
is fair to say. It corrects lateral CA on any lens - Nikkor or third
party, as does the auto correction "in-camera" in the Nikon D300 and D3.
The correction also works when there's no CA visible that you'd consider
correcting manually - with the result that edge performance (sharpness)
of (WA in particular) lenses is improved all the time.
So there's nothing there to share in terms of picture controls.
There are only rudimentary lens distortion correction tools - although I
understand that the de-fisheye tool is very effective. There's no
distortion correction like PTLens (included with Bibble) or DXO. There
is vignetting (light fall-off) correction, but there's only one slider
for amount - and not as effective as PTLens correction with mid-point
adjustment.
