Same thoughts here, and we're not alone, many people on both MacRumors.com and Apple's own discussion boards have commented on this.

Unfortunately putting it on Apple's boards got me a threatening email saying if I did it again my ISP would be informed and my IP blocked from registering or posting again.

Everyone seems to agree it is a collection of issues, which could be solved by:
- Firmware update (to solve the dreadfully slow booting)
- Graphics drivers (current implementation is very, very poor)
- OS Updates (the cynic in me says Apple will put this into 10.3, as an incentive, imagine a post on Apple's discussion boards saying "I just installed 10.3 on my 12/15/17" PB and WOW! I never knew the machine could go that fast, every-thing's snappy, my frame-rates in games have improved no end etc etc")


I suppose all you can do for now is ensure you have the latest updates from Apple (10.2.6, Bluetooth update, CD firmware update, iMovie 3.0.3, iSync 1.1, Quicktime 6.3 etc etc)

This has probably already been a topic on here so
apologies if this is redundancy in action for you all
but I was wondering what thoughts owners of the 12"
have concerning it's speed. I have maxed out the RAM
in mine and while I'm not DISpleased on it's speed,
it's a wee bit slower than I was anticipating. Anyone
else have an issue/concern and/or thought about this?
