I just upgraded to 10.1 from 10.0.4 and I'm enjoying the speed INCREASE. I know it's still slower than OS9 at its speediest, but when you include freezes in OS9, when one application takes over the entire machine, I think 10.1 is doing pretty well. That's not to say there's no room for improvement. The big memory hog seems to be window drawing/redrawing. Major hunks of memory are being used to keep track of where each pretty pixel and dropshadow are, so they will look nice when I (slowly) move one window around the screen. I expect two things will speed up OS X: - future improvements to memory management and Quartz rendering - ever-faster and more powerful hardware I guess we'll see.
