You can check out our test of the facial-recognition technologies which we previously looked at on Webmonkey.

All of the cool extras makes Picasa stand out - the facial-recognition technology, collage-maker and the tool for adding text to your photos - are there as well. All of the most important features are there, such as importing, editing and syncing to the web. Picasa for the Mac is on par with the most recent Picasa 3.0 releases for other platforms, with only a few exceptions. The interface is similar to most other photo library apps, with sliders to control the size of the photos in the display, plus buttons to rotate, tag, share, print and upload photos. Large libraries scroll and respond quickly.

In my tests, I found the Mac client to be extremely fast - faster than iPhoto - and easy to navigate.
