Brian I use Bibble Pro 5 for RAW conversion and basic editng and image adjustments, and it includes Noise Ninja noise reduction.
It works so that it applies a default set of adjustment parameters to all the RAW images, and you can set these based on your personal preference. So as son as you load the images they receive basic batch processing. then , depending on the images I crop, adjust horizon and fine tune exposure and colour balance if required. Everything is left as RAW, because Bibble (I think ACR does something similar), and stores the adjustment parameters in a sidecar file for each image and applies them to the output images. So the original image file is never altered. The output images can be in tiff or jpeg and this where the size of the output image is specified. I shoot RAW pretty much exclusively and it takes me no longer than when the image files are in jpeg. Well actually it takes less time as jpegs are harder to adjust. Bibble takes the same approach to jpeg editing, that is never altering the original only applying the changes to any output files.
