Not even remotely true. Significant speed improvements were made in 10.5 and 10.6. For example, Spotlight is actually useful in 10.5.
At the cost of Finder search which Apple destroyed. I prefer to search a location rather than a drive, therefore I rarely use Spotlight and use Easy Find instead.
Also Apple made a lot of 'changes under the hood' between 10.4 and 10.5 which make things much faster for supported hardware, at the cost of needing more fast memory, hence the somewhat odd 867MHz CPU requirement (which translated to Macs with a 133MHz bus or faster).
That hasn't been my experience. Leopard is less responsive on my PM and I have far more crashes and kernel panics, and failed logouts/restarts/shut downs are something that I NEVER experienced with Tiger.
Apple's system requirements for 10.5 are spot on. If your machine is supported in 10.5 your machine is better in 10.5, especially with applications that take advantage of the new system libraries.
Again, this has not been my experience.
