[X4U] security update

[George Harvey]

I am sorry that I did not make clear that I had already updated to 
10.3.8 on my G5 tower. I do not have unusual delays with 10.3.8 and the 
latest security update on an old G4 tower. The 10.3.8 update increased 
speed on most applications and file access, and shortened Internet 
delays but did not eliminate them. I still experience a long wait 
whenever I try to access a different site, and when exchanges such as 
in e-mail, these all take far longer than when I was using 10.3.6.

Do you think that changing location again would help? I have checked 
everything I could, including use of disk repair, DiskWarrior, and 
TechTool Pro 4. I also reentered search domains, etc. I would 
appreciate any suggestion that could help.
