Part of it might be the amount of Physical RAM in your system also. 
The day Tiger came out I bought a new HD, cloned my boot drive, and 
installed Tiger.  My G5 2x2 seriously slowed down.  I was able to 
determine that due to the change in RAM usage, I'd have to move from 
1.5GB to 2.5-3.5GB to get the same level of performance that I'd had. 
I'm back on 10.3.9 thanks to that new HD dying a couple months after 
I bought it (thankfully I'd not wiped the original HD), but I don't 
have any plan move back to Tiger.

I'm afraid that due to the way I switched back I can't offer you any 
help with your questions.
