But Terminal also obeys the CMD~ trick, so the numbered ones are mainly useful if you want to jump directly to a particular window and you have too many open to just hit CMD~~~ for example. > > I get the opposite.

Anecdotally, I understand that over on the Windows side of things, Win2k wanted a lot more horsepower than WinNT, but provided that you could give it what it wanted, it used the resources better. Apparently the same very fast machine would be more responsive after an upgrade to Win2k. Maybe the same sort of thing is going on now -- iMacs & such are just never going to be able to run it well, but the newer machines will be fine.
