Ok, I tried the PMU fix and it now shows "999999997." However, I have been doing the same tasks that I have been doing since the 10.3.2 upgrade and I really don't notice any speed increase even with Terminal reporting it as such. I wonder if this is a false reporting issue rather than an actual slowdown. When I have nothing better to do, I will take a timer and time various Photoshop tasks with Terminal showing 667 and again at 999 and see if there is any difference. My guess is that there isn't one. jg
