This is great to know! It will be so wonderful if the transition were to be
smoother than the one from Tiger to Leopard.
Thank you very much.
Can you comment on whether S Leopard truly outperforms Leopard?

Those of us who are working with fink on Snow Leopard in advance of its release
are not allowed to comment on the specifics of Snow Leopard, but I can make
some general comments based on publically-available information.
Everything I've heard publically about Grand Central Dispatch indicates that
programmers will have to specifically include that functionality in their code
-- they will have to adopt Apple's new threading model. This suggests that
existing code (such as the code for all packages currently in fink) won't
immediately take advantage of Grand Central Dispatch, but that GCD might, over
time, have some beneficial effects.
The other comment that I think it's safe to make is that fink is working quite
well on Snow Leopard already, and we hope to have a well-functioning version of
fink all ready to go when Snow Leopard is released.

Purely out of curiosity, are there any general impressions about fink on Snow
Leopard? Will fink (and the packages) benefit at all from Grand Central
Dispatch and OpenCL? I assume that the latter will have no effect, but the
former should, theoretically, benefit fink and its packages, right?
Will all this software port relatively easily over to Snow Leopard?
