Actually, it "feels" faster running OS/X than it did when it was
last running (I think) 9.2.2. I'd imagine this is mostly the fact
that the Unix underpinnings allow the machine to multi-task better
and utilize the disk bandwidth more efficiently (given Unix's
aggressive disk caching). Also, I'm sure its physical memory is
much more efficiently used in the Unix environmentthan it was in
MacOS/9.

There's absolutely nothing "sleepy" about this machine.

On the other hand, my new 1.25GHz PowerBook is decidedly faster. :-)
But it has even more RAM (1GB) and a 5400 RPM, 80GB disk drive.

Sorry, I thought we were comparing name-brands to name-brands.
And identical configurations to identical configurations. But
if we're not, then "Nevermind!".
