Re: Re: SLOW SLOW SLOW
It's defiantly not that slow!! With 10.2.8 It was taking at least two minuets to boot up. With Panther, it takes a little over 26 seconds. Before the update however, It took 16 seconds to go from off to login screen.

Boooo. I'm still only getting 1.5Mbps on my Comcast connection. Hopefully they'll upgrade the service here soon.
Everything seems slower now. Applications take twice as long to startup, the menu bar takes forever to load up, browsing through my hard drive is slower, boot up is slower, changing between folders is hugely slower, etc. I don't understand what is going on.
Can someone check what version Print Center is with 10.3.2? I moved my Utilities folder out of my Applications folder and after I updated, OS 10.3.2 made another Utilities folder and added a blank file that is labeled Print Center but it is a non functional blank white alias so I am wondering if it failed to update Print Center since it was located somewhere else than where it was by default.
Re: I think it is Snappier!!!
I agree. Totally snappier. My window zooms are smoother too.
I run a very clean machine though.

Hmm these reports of "slowedness" seem to vary, maybe its a problem with only some machines, not all?
P.S.: Am I the only one who noticed NO startup speedup with Panther as opposed to Jaguar? I even timed it, both systems took just over a minute to start on an iMac G4 800mhz.

WOW!
This is so much better...iTunes for example took like 5-7 seconds before the update... now it took 1 bounce.
This is a GOOD update, but i did have to repair permissions first and give it another reboot.

I dunno what everyone is going on about. My 15" Albook booted up just as fast as ever and all apps so far work just as fast. I have noticed "preview" is heaps faster than before.
"iphoto" which is sooo damn slow opened with 1/2 a jump, same with "itunes"
Everything is just fine down here down under

two apps titled 'printer setup utility' exist in sytem profile after 10.3.2 update:
/Applications/Utilities/Print Center.app
/Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility.app
both version 3.0
odd.
60sec boot time with 10.3.2, 40sec boot time with 10.3.1
/Applications/Utilities/Print Center.app
/Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility.app
both version 3.0
odd.

Is it just me or is OS 10.3.2 really, really slow now? It takes me an extra 8 seconds to boot up and snappiness is even worse than Jaguar was by quite a bit. I repaired permissions and checked my disk just in case and everything should be fine...
Very slow reboot. Repaired permissions, it fixed 7 of them. Update must have broken them since I repaired permissions a few days ago.
just curious
Just what exactly is more robust printing to PostScript printers? I have never described printing as robust.

Faster for me
I did find the startup the first time to be slower but after my second reboot it was just as fast as before, if not as faster. I have found most of my apps specially iPhoto and iTunes are way faster. My Internet speeds seem to be faster (comcast user), but I that could be wishful thinking. It is a good upgrade but I need to test the Macs at work since the they not been able to browse the PC network they are on. I hope it fixed it!!

Do you mean printer setup utility? Cause if so, its version 3.0.
Edit: Oops, I didn't see the previous post.
Re: Faster for me
Just rebooted for the second time and you're right, everything does seem much snappier! This is a great update to an already great product.
No problems
No speed problems here on either iBook G3 700 or PowerBook G4 550. Both are clean installs and permissions were repaired after 10.3.2 install.
On my iBook, iTunes launched in 2 dock bounces the first time, 1 dock bounce subsequent times. Other apps seem to launch faster as well.
In Mail, the mailbox drawer now opens smoothly with no lag when window is reopened. There is a noticeable speed improvement when viewing individual mailboxes and e-mails.
I seems like graphic and hard disk performance is improved in 10.3.2. I'm very happy!

I logged in as root to replace the file myself since it couldn't do it normally since "Print Center" is invisible. The only problem now is that I have both "Print Center" and "Printer Setup Utility" listed in Utilities instead of the one and can't figure out out to make it invisible like it should be.
it's normal
a boot-up is always longer after you update your OS, since the "update" of the OS takes place during said startup.
Boot a second time: it should be back to normal.
