Leopard on iMac G4

[Le Big Mac]

Considering Leopard for my iMac G4 (the lampshade/sunflower). 1 Ghz, 1GB memory. Running Tiger now and it runs fine if I don't have too many programs open. Wondering whether an upgrade to Leopard is worth it or will be frustrating.

(And, yes, I'm separately considering a computer upgrade, but that's a different question)

After the initial Spotlight indexing Leopard is nice on my older G4s.

I've imaged quite a few already.

How does performance compare to Tiger? (after indexing)

It's a little bit faster but nothing beyond a percent or two.

Good to hear. I was more concerned about a significant performance cut. I can live with the same thing--when I can't, I'll buy a new one.

for what it's worth, i installed 10.5 on my iBook G4 (1.2GHz, 768MB) and it works just as good (if not faster) than with 10.4
