I don't think so. Except for some parts of the Finder, I found 10.3 to be as
snappy as 9 in all other areas. And this is on a PowerBook G3 at 500MHz, not
a G4. I have a PowerMac G4 also running at 500MHz and I can't perceive any
difference in the responsiveness of the OS in general. I don't think a G4
offers such a big increase in performance, MHz for MHz...
