[G4] 10.4.3 on my Quicksilver -- what a difference!

[Steve Goldstein]

I was really down on my Quicksilver with 10.4.2, but I didn't realize 
that it was the system itself that was slowing down all sorts of 
things: waking up after periods of inactivity (and I had set 
preferences to NEVER SLEEP), processing downloaded main in Eudora, 
loading pages in Safari--they were all dragging so badly that I was 
tempted to switch to the PC that I keep active for chores that I 
cannot do on my Mac (like maintain a web site with MS Front Page). 
Since updating to 10.4.3, things are back to normal as far as a 
speedy Mac goes.

BTW, I resolved the fan speedup that I noted yesterday after having 
updated to 10.4.3 on my wife's iMac G5.  I had to remove the back 
cover and press the PMU (Power Management Unit) reset button. 
Apple's solution of reloading software from the original installation 
disk and then upgrading to Panther and then to 10.4.3 did not work at 
all.  But, once I reset the PMU, the fans quieted down.
