No surprise there. > The thing > even hogs more RAM than Tiger :( While there are quite a number of changes in Leopard, the extra resources used are not my cup of tea. Yes, it does chew up more CPU. Yes, it does chew up more memory. It is a tad slower (well, for me, at least), but some other folk have "noticed" improvements in performance since. All recent critical updates have not made any improvements in the performance side, for me. But hey... That being said, Leopard is a little more modern than Tiger; and if you can find a way to be less liberal with the resource utilization, it might actually work out - but don't expect too many fireworks. There are some new things like Time Machine, the new Finder look, e.t.c. I'm not big on some of these things, but on others, I am. I'm disappointed, though, with the reduced performance of Airport. Since moving to Leopard, I have lost 25% worth of power over the wifi that isn't a problem on Tiger. This is a known issue. Perhaps, Leopard runs better, I dare say, on Apple's new MacBook Air. But without a native Ethernet port and optical drive, I'm not sure I'll be tearing up the shops looking to bag one, just yet. Cheers, Mark.
