To increase speed, I use a ram disk and have Finale save its temp
files to that.
I know people say that using a ram disk makes no sense on os x but the
difference for me in terms of finale is noticeable and substantial.
This is on a recent iMac, and has been the case forever.

I'd say that my experience on OS X has been that the initial
releases are perhaps a tad slower than the version before. So,
upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5 you'd notice a slight decrease in
speed. But as Apple releases updates to it, it makes up the
difference in speed.
Though if you have an Intel Mac, you should be on 10.6 now. The
speed increase on my 2006 iMac has been quite worth it, and even
ProTools is working on it. Amazing.....

Forth, keep the system up to date. Honestly, unlike Microsoft,
every recent OS X version has been more and more optimized, so
there is a noticeable speed increase between 10.4 and 10.5, and
obviously between 10.5 and 10.6 (if you have an Intel mac to run
it on).
ok, thanks, this is a great tip. i hate upgrading, there is
always things to correct / change that take up too much time for
me, but knowing this just might get me to finally go for 10.5
(don't have intel).
I didn't know that upgrading the system made you faster! Wow, that
is great to know! I assumed that the new systems had more bells and
whistles making it heavier. I suppose some of the coding got
streamlined?
