I don't agree. I have a Quicksilver 733, and I have noticed huge
perceptible gains in Panther. The finder, apps, mail, you name it. The
whole OS is snappier, not quite like )S9 is on the same machine, but
snappier all the same. I had almost given up the Mac platform because of
the dog-ass slowness of Jaguar. I felt like I was working underwater;
everything was sooo sluggish. Now I am gushing over Panther, hands-down
the best OS apple has ever released (besides NOS 2.1 of course). Now if
they would just scale it down and put it on a paperback sized tablet...
