BSD and Linux took MANY YEARS to get their scheduler and memory management up to the level of Windows and traditional UNIX. I would be BEYOND shocked to discover that they were now significantly better.

And what is the OS is magically working better? Have you investigated that yet? Personally, you experience is completely different to mine, and I haven't read anything about MacOSX's thread scheduling or memory management is somehow an order of magnitude better than anyone else's. But if your Macs go so much faster, I want my Macs to go much faster as well. So I'd like to know what I need to do to get that behaviour.

Actually I do know why, and I said so. So did you. It is the OS and the cooperative effort between the OS builder and the APP builder.

But what I find surprising is all you guys that think that Photoshop is somehow faster on current Intel Macs, yet have no idea why it's so much better. Surely if you could work that out you could have much faster PCs as well. The only difference would be in the OS. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
