I think its a combination where a regular drive and slow processor will be way slower than SSD and fast/new processor.

I'm not too happy of my MBP performance, but it will honestly depend on how much do you plan on flashing. If you want to flash say once a week, it's not a big deal at all. But I am flashing 4-5 times a night right now fine tuning driveability and then dyno time and for that its a PITA to wait inside the car 3-4 minutes everytime.
