Please Help: CPU Speed Accelerator 3.0

Application: CPU Speed Accelerator 3.0

Question: Does this application really improve application performance by 20% to 30%?

I am wanting to use it on a Mac Mini Rev. A PPC G4 @1.25GHz with 1GB Ram.

Is this a real application or does it modify a .plist? Can the same thing be done from Terminal?

Many thanks

From what I can tell, it seems that this App doesn't actually overclock your CPU or anything, it just changes the way Apps are prioritized by the OS.

Kind of like in Windows, where you can use the task manager to change the priorities of a certain task.

So I guess it could help improve performance of the App you're interested in, such as a game. Since Apps running in the background would get less resources.

But I don't know for sure, never used it before.

hmmm. I wonder if it prioritizes the forground app versus other user owned apps, or does it prioritize versus all apps (user and system)?
