Well, that's a little much, isn't it? Using Geekbench 2.1.4, my G4 “AGP Graphics” Dual-450 MHz has 477 points with Tiger vs. 475 points with Leopard. That is a 0.5% loss in speed. Nowhere near 15-20%. With Geekbench 2.1.13, my G4 Cube single 450 MHz has 304 points with Tiger vs. 301 points with Leopard. That is a 1% loss in speed. An overall of up to 2% at max also reflects my experience. All other is only a “felt” slowdown due to a graphics card without Core Image support or too less memory.
