This is not meant to be a thorough analysis but rather personal observation:
Gear Used:
Canon 7D
Canon 100mm L Macro
Reflector (some shots)
ARRI Lights
I bought this lens two months ago and after few shoots I was not really impressed.
All the rumors that you heard about the lens being slow and takes many precious seconds to fucos are true. The Auto focus has three modes .3m /.5m / Full .

I Graphic Cards
The quality of the graphics card can be a deal breaker in your non-linear editing system. The GC is responsible for everything that is displayed on your screen. The misconception is that Graphics cards are only applicable to video thus sometime referred to as the video card. In fact, the user interface of the software you have active and the operating system effects (like Aero in windows) can sometimes be draining to the processing power and memory available on your system.
