[G4] Panther: To upgrade or not...

[CJ Scaminaci]

That's true actually now that I think about it. The way Apple speeded 
up the graphical interface, besides re-coding it, was to take out the 
alpha channel in the windows (the gray and white strips in the 
backrounds of windows) and prioritizing the operating system. As a 
developer I've noticed that the graphical interface has higher priority 
than Apple Events, meaning, if the graphical interface and an Apple 
Event wanted to do something at the same time, the GI has priority. I 
don't know why I just collaborated that much....guess I'm just bored.
