How fast is the Code in OS X: 10.2 vrs. 10.3 vrs. 10.4 ???
I have an old Wallstreet that I am trying to bring back to life. Family number: M4753. In a future posting, I'll be asking about how to format the hard drive, etc., but that's not the topic of this posting... I'm sure we're all familiar with the phenomenon of Code Bloating, where when an Application Program or Operating System goes through a major revision, the length of it's source and/or executable code gets larger with each revision. (Ever heard of Microsoft?) The end result with Code Bloating is that each version requires more and more hardware/horsepower in order to run at the same apparent speed as the previous version did on its own hardware. I've sort of (and I emphasis SORT OF) been told that this is not true between at least two versions of OS X. Can anyone verify this in any way? In other words: - Given the same obsolete hardware (and the XPostFacto software add-on): -- Is 10.2 faster or slower than 10.3? -- Is 10.3 faster or slower than 10.4? -- Is 10.2 faster or slower than 10.4? Thanks much, LP p.s.: I assume that all of you already know about it, but just-in-case, here's a link for XPostFacto: http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=XPostFacto.html . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Given the same obsolete hardware (and the XPostFacto software add-on): -- Is 10.2 faster or slower than 10.3? Faster, but less stable. -- Is 10.3 faster or slower than 10.4? A lot faster, given the low RAM ceiling of the WS and WSII. -- Is 10.2 faster or slower than 10.4? Is a cheetah faster than a tortoise? However, Jag is much less stable than Tiger. The best compromise, IMHO, is Panther with XPostFacto. Caleb -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Having used both OS's on a WS I and a WS II, I have to agree. Panther corrected a number of issues both Wallstreets I used had with Jaguar. To be completely honest, I was basing my recommendation on my lackluster experience with Jag on my Lombard, and the insane stability of Panther on both a friend's AlBook, and my grandpa's Mac mini.
