I'm not sure: I never noticed any speed increase on my system--it may speed up certain apps, though.
4.3 _is_ faster than 4.2, though. -- Alexander K.

Alexander, is threading supposed to make X11 faster? I am still running MacOS X 10.2.8 (Jaguar). I am not planning to upgrade to 10.3 (Panther) anytime soon. Maybe in a few months when it is a must (e.g., all major programs require 10.3).
