Not that it really helps with your question (just buy a Mac Pro, they're lovely ), but how come twice the pixels makes for three times the file-size? Is it just more noise on the fewer-photons-per-pixel sensor? Or perhaps the D3 has a greater bit-depth, forcing Lightroom to use different, slower algorithms?
