[P1] iBook Slow on 10.2.2 (Continued)

[Larry Blodgett]

This is true of course.  When I talk of slow I am talking about 1/5 
as fast as 9.  I have 266 G3 Beige machine that run many times 
faster.  The CPU usage is pegged all the time.

>Larry, you should expect OS 10.2 to run significantly slower than OS 9.  My
>iBook 366 Special Edition with 320 MB of RAM runs about 25% slower in Jaguar
>than it does in OS 9, but my new 800 MHz iMac 17" is only slightly better
>(maybe 20% slower).  It is just the nature of OS X that it is slow,
>especially the Finder.  If your system runs significantly slower than this
>then maybe you have a problem, but a 25% decrease in speed is normal.  We
>are all hoping that Apple will soon come out with a new generation of
>processors (perhaps G5) that will make this very modern OS run better and
>faster, but who knows when that will happen.
