EXACTLY! And this is the problem with the article you cited above. The comparison was done on the same Mac, BUT, the problem is that only one HD was used, and it was a triple booting (three partitions) of one single HD. The difference between partitions on one HD can be in the 10-15% or greater range, so if the Leopard OS was on a fast partition and the Tiger on a slow partition, the results would be skewed. In order to do a valid comparison you'd need to install a clean OS onto one HD or partition and run the test; then erase that HD or partition and install the other OS onto the SAME HD or partition and rerun the test. I believe if you run the tests on IDENTICAL setups you'll see that Leopard is 15-20% slower than Tiger.
I would have to agree with this thread above!!! ^^^ I went through this on my G3 Clamshell iBook when I went from Jaguar to Panther so I cleaned it and reinstalled Jaguar!!! So I bought a G4 Titanium Powerbook 1ghz and 1g ram running Tiger!!! -----Original Message----- >From: Kris Tilford <[email protected]> >Sent: Dec 7, 2009 3:49 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: Leopard or Tiger? > e is at http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml >To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
