Snow Leopard made my spaces slow/glitchy.

In 10.5, my spaces would transition nice, smooth and evenly. In 10.6, whenever I switch spaces it is super sloppy/glitchy/not smooth/not even. Anyway to fix this or does 10.6 just suck?

Like 10.5, 10.6 shipped with crappy drivers. Wait a few months.

There is a temporary fix you can use for this. I used it when 10.5 first came out.

Download and install Quartzsimple:

Then open it, Command B to open Beamsync tools and disable beamsync, then hide quartzsimple (you have to keep it open or it will revert) and it should be all better.
 
Give it a few days. I had the same issue when I first installed Snow Leopard a few days ago. Now everything runs smooth as silk on my 2 year old Black Macbook. :)
 
Can someone explain this to me? I have just created a thread in the Macbook Pro forum about this exact problem. Obviously it isn't the machine as I ran the quartzsimple program and everything is fine with beamsync off!
 
I think Snow Leopard shipped with better drivers as it's much more smoother than Leopard. I look at drivers as something that doesn't change whatever happens to the OS. I don't see how Apple could move backwards from the ****** drivers included with Leopard.

works perfectly, thanks a lot :=)
to keep the setting, and -not- keep the application open (quartzsimple)
just kill it with the activity manager .. or 'kill now' over the apple menu. (dont use apple + Q)

thanks for the tip. i really can't understand how this doesn't go fluently on a macbook pro 2,16Ghz / 6gigs of RAM :eek:, and such a little application manages, what apple doesn't?
strange... but :cool: at least there's a solution ;)
