I am wondering whether you might have some unusual configuration on the
system you are running OS X on. I ran OS X, the Public Beta version, on
a beige G3 in my old school's publications computer lab. It did not have
nearly the instability problems you describe, and it sounds like your
speed issues are much more severe than what I saw on that machine. Which
is vexing, because I was running it on a 266 with 96 MB RAM. By all
rights, your system running X.1 ought to be MUCH faster. Is there any
troubleshooting that I or others could help you with off-list?

I certainly understand your complaints about OS X. But I still don't
understand why the idea that others like it should bother you. For that
matter, I'm not sure I understand why you are developing software for
this environment, which sounds like it has many problems for developers,
and which you personally don't like? Maybe it would be better to wait
for Apple to complete the documentation of the API you needed?
