So...you're using Pro/E already and want to use Solidworks instead, or you have a native Pro/E file and want to open it in Solidworks?
If the former, Solidworks probably isn't any faster or slower than Pro/E. It could take quite a while to convert from another file format (STEP, IGES, etc) though. I have a P4 single core 3.4 ghz with 4 gigs of RAM and an Nvidia 7800 GTX at work and I've had to open STEP files of assemblies that took 10-15 minutes to convert/render.
It all depends on how large the file is, whether it's an assembly, or parts, etc etc.
