I run 25 - 40 % free drive space on all partitions and drives, 
regular Directory rebuilds, a gigabyte of RAM that tests to specs, 
..etc.

People who drag things to trash, rather than use keyboard commands, 
which happen quickly, won't notice the latency. Too many people have 
responded  on and off list for this to be isolated.

The Finder is a carbon app surrounded by OSX Cocoa native apps on my 
setup. what's it doing in there? being nostalgic for 68k emulation 
days?   And what does simple memory block allocation have to do with 
free disk space?

Remember, friend, that dragging to trash isn't "moving" anything, all 
it is really, is adding the allocation blocks back to 'free' memory. 
The free drive space has zero to do with it.
