Hi Brandy,
>I have left mine on and in sleep mode but they seem very sluggish after wake
>up! Kind of like me grumpy in the morning before I get coffee!
>Start-up in a pain in the rear but they seem faster from a cold start!
>One good point is I have a little fan blowing at it when it's asleep and
>it's not sluggish at all on wake up!
>I dock at work but not at home1 At home is where I have the fan. Maybe
>it's a heat thing! Any Idea on that one?
I believe there are a few things which slow it down on wake up which you
can fix. One, I believe is AppleTalk. If this is on in the chooser it
slows things down. Another is if you have "Servers" checked in the
"Remember recent items" in the AppleMenu Control Panel. There was another
one I think, but I'm not sure about this. Mac Secrets is a good source of
this kind of data.
Also 8.6 seems slower on waking than any previous system. But wake up
from sleep is still faster than starting it up after a shutdown.
I never tried the fan though! That's a very interesting idea!
Yours sincerely,
John Davis
