I did a custom install pulling out most of the printer drivers and  
languages I don't use. That helped some.

Never had a need for Applejack yet with journaling and all, but a new  
version should be available soon.

I believe there is an APE update for Leopard that gets things going.
However, I find with Expose, Spaces and other utilities for  
application launching that don't require putting unsupported hacks in  
the kernal, I've been able to purge all the APE-based utilities.

Several applications definitely do work better (especially Mail). But  
my car always seems to have more pep after I change the oil too. :-)

Using firewire disk boot, I was able to install Leopard on my Titanium  
667MHz PowerBook with no problem. Seems to run pretty well, though a  
little pokey. But Tiger wasn't that speedy either. The graphics are  
scaled back automatically so that the menubar is not translucent, and  
neither is the dock shelf. Some people would say that is an advantage.
