They're different operating systems. There are different files, different permissions, and a different quantity of files. A more important question is why are you timing this and why is 8 seconds something to be losing sleep over? Add a few user accounts, some complex programs, several hundred thousand user files, and some age to your installation and watch the time it takes to perform a scan rise significantly. -- 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.
