I have an old Wallstreet that I am trying to bring back to life.
Family number: M4753. In a future posting, I'll be asking about how to
format the hard drive, etc., but that's not the topic of this posting...
I'm sure we're all familiar with the phenomenon of "Code Bloating",
where when an Application Program or Operating System goes through a
major revision, the length of it's source and/or executable code gets
larger with each revision. (Ever heard of Microsoft?) The end result
with "Code Bloating" is that each version requires more and more
hardware/horsepower in order to run at the same apparent speed as the
previous version did on its own hardware.
I've sort of (and I emphasis SORT OF) been told that this is not true
between at least two versions of OS X. Can anyone verify this in any
way? In other words:
- Given the same obsolete hardware (and the XPostFacto software
add-on):
-- Is 10.2 faster or slower than 10.3?
-- Is 10.3 faster or slower than 10.4?
-- Is 10.2 faster or slower than 10.4?
Thanks much, LP
p.s.: I assume that all of you already know about it, but just-in-case,
here's a link for XPostFacto:
