I started shooting exclusively in RAW after I noticed some JPEG blocking artifacts in a night shot... even though it was set to 'fine' (best quality).

Cuzma is right... the software supplied with Canon's 300D is totally shitty. For each change you make the software has to decode the RAW image and draw it out again, which takes about 15 seconds on my PC. It doesn't cache images either, so you can't undo/redo back and forth rapidly to see the differences your change makes. Making more than a couple of minor changes to a RAW 'negative' would be a very frustrating task with this software.
