hey everyone, sorry if you already know about this, but i must share for those who dont!
i just downloaded tinker tool last night, and i had it turn off font smoothing, and my imac g4 is sooooooooooo much faster now! especially in opening files and menus with marge amounts of text. its so great! you can do several other things too, like put the dock on the top of the screen, and have it stay at the left/right (for top and bottom mode) or top/bottom (for left/right mode) (so you could have your dock in a corner, for example)
but anyway, my computer is muccchhh faster without that pesky font smoothing. yeah, it doesnt look as nice, but i am willing to bite the bullet windows-style until they do a better job with font-smoothing
try it out and post what u think
post other apps that speed up osx too!
hope ive helped someone
