It may have done so without you even noticing it. Speed Doubler had three components: 1. A smarter/more efficient hard drive cache, but over the years Apple kept improving theirs. By OS 8.5 or so, this became unnecessary. 2. A smarter/more efficient 68K emulator that really improved performance of software not written specifically for the PowerPC -- that still includes parts of the OS from all I hear. 3. A smarter/more efficient copy routine including intelligent copying like syncing two sources and only copying changed files. Speed Doubler broke somewhere around OS 8.5. The third ability is still available with Copy Agent from Connectix. I've been using it since they released it. Smart copying is one of those things Apple should build into the OS. Until they do, Copy Agent is invaluable.
