Cool

I installed this update on my G4 DP PM running 10.3.9 and the airport extreme and airport express have never worked so well. The most notable difference is the signal strength which is a constant maximum instead of the usual 2 bars or so.

Always good to have another update from Apple. Sounds as though it will be helpful for my wife on her Powerbook. Each update seems to help her with signal strength issues.

Are there benchmark tests on this?

But is it on the same scale? That is, do you actually get faster transfers or did they just change what "four bars" means?
