The 460m is a duo core processor. LR can take advantage of multiple cores and 2 cores isn't that hot if speed is a high priority. That said a 460m is certainly sufficient.
Here's a searchable list:

The 460m is more at the low end (rank 238) as of today.
I'd go for a quad core sandy bridge.
The CPU is one thing - the screen quality is another topic. The differences are EXTREME here.

Depends on what you want. The i5 460M (dual core) in my new Toshiba runs Lr as fast as my Q8200 (quad core) desktop from 2008.(I wasnt expecting that) The new sandy bridge are apparantly "killer" cpus, but for a secondary computer to be used on the road, I happily gave up the sandy bridge speed for a low price and more importantly low weight. This alos allows me to upgrade my home machine to Sandy bridge, which I think is much mroe useful, because this is connected to a real color calibrated EIZO screen.
