I waited for Panther to stabilize.
Then I decided I LIKED 10.2.8  I still like it.
  I upgraded to 10.3.8/9 only to get my FCP HD upgrade. (and iLife '05)
  Guess what? They are both unhappy puppies.
Panther takes forever to boot. Apps take a long time to load (even 
after prebinding)
XBench reports an overall speedbump (confirmed by render times) but my 
video speed
is down from 106 FPS to 88 FPS.
  FCP HD is configured to take advantage of 3rd party hardware to it's 
detriment.
I find that there are so many places to set the outputs that it gets 
confused
and when feeding my Pioneer DVDRecorder It can EASILY go to a condition
where the video goes to the Firewire but the audio goes nowhere.
I Know how to control it. It is a bug and when I called Apple refused 
to discuss it with me.
Further the favorites menu is scragged and they know it.
So I am leary. (bleary too)
