I can compare it to other's machines on their Xbench site as well. Geekbench is available, too, for OS X 10.4 and 10.5. If I remember correctly, the same machine setup (my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz) ran 10-15% "slower" using Leopard 10.5.6, as compared to Tiger 10.4.11. I didn't dissect the different scores to see where this occurred ... its been awhile since I noticed such a dramatic decrease. IIRC, Tiger "runs faster" than Panther. I might go back and see what's up ... as I now have a new mobo in the QS, and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with both Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.7 installed. Panther's no longer on the scene, though. Just need to make sure "Spotlight" has finished indexing, or results will be be wronged ... as well as any other "background" processes ...
