The various versions of OS X -- beta, 10.0, 10.1.... -- have each been significatnly
faster on Apple's current machines. My G4 tower, powerbooks, ibook, have all
seen markedly improved performance. But I suspect that's because of the system
being rewritten to make optimized use of the particular hardware in Apple's
current machines, because my old 8600 with 800Mhz Sonnet board doesn't seem
to be getting better. 10.0 was faster than the beta, certainly, but maybe it's just
my own perception, but the older machine seemed to get LESS stable or fast
with 10.2.8.
Anyone have any experience? Unsubstantiatied rumors or conjecture :-) ?
