As I posted last month:

It runs faster than 10.4.11 on my unsupported G4, 450 MP. FWIW, I used the
technigue at <http://blog.kupferman.net/?p=3> to modify a cloned install disk
on an internal HD and external FWHD.

I beta-tested the cat, so ran it for over a year on the G4 and my mate's 1GHz
17" flat-panel iMac. That and reports from other beta-testers indicated every
incremental build brought some speed increase in one area or another. I still
run 10.4.11 on a daily basis and think stuff loads faster, Safari's snappier,
etc. No other benchmarks, but I've beta-tested Panther, Tiger, and Leopard, so
my experience is what I base my conclusion on.
