leopard speed? 40mph lol

[dukebound85]

My question is will leopard be "faster" on my mb cd 2 ghz 2gig ram than tiger is now even though tiger has lower system requirements in both processor and ram (seeing how 800mhz g4s are said to not work well)?

i mean in real life i would think a leopard can run faster than the bigger tiger lol

If tiger goes 40mph, Leopard will go 64Kph!

LOL (Laughing Out Loud)

Note is apoximatley the same speed (there is a .371927 kph difference)

Interesting question - this is something that I've been wondering about, too.

I have a Powerbook 12" 867MHz (PowerPC G4) with 1.12GB RAM and a 40GB hard drive. So I just about meet the minimum requirements for Leopard. I'm currently running Panther (10.3.9) and my PB is fast enough for most of what I do. I'm planning to upgrade to Leopard soon after it is released. When I upgrade to Leopard, what am I most likely to see?

A. A performance slowdown.
B. A performance speedup.
C. No change in performance.

I'm ok with either or [C], but I'm hoping very strongly that I won't encounter [A]. Any beta testers out there with feedback?

yea i know. there is no pt to upgrade in my opinion if it will make my computer be slow

That's what I'm wondering... I have a G4 Mini with 512 megs of RAM. Would Leopard or Tiger be a better upgrade for it (or none at all)

I would not have known what you meant if you didn't include the parenthesis.

Thanks genius.

9A559 is very fast on my C2D 2gb MacBook.

I understand Tiger saw a speedup because of the evolution of the code, but I don't know about Leopard. Maybe there's a limit to how far you can optimise th PPC code?
Leopard does have some possibly intensive new features such as coverflow in the Finder, so I would have to say Leopard may be a bit slower than Panther on your G4.

Only if you use the coverflow view. Most of the things that Tiger introduce and Leopard can either not be used or turned off, e.g. Dashboard, Spotlight, Time Machine*


*not certain about that one but i believe you have to enable it in system preferences.
