Just two layers, and not that many effects. Just multiple iterations of the garbage matte on those frames with more than one nasty dust spot. There was a lot of rendering involved, but just because there were a lot of frames with dust, and I had to render them out to see if the fixes worked properly. I did it on an MBP 2.2Ghz quad-core with 4GB RAM. It would have gone faster on a desktop with more RAM, but it wasn't that bad on the MBP. 

It's a method pretty much anyone can do, if they're up for taking the time.
