Ah, at last we get to the real question. Assuming you max out the RAM, there's no reason you should see any performance degradation between 9 and OS X doing what you're doing. The stability of OS X is a *huge* plus in my book, but admittedly Finder operations (such as opening and closing windows) are still a bit faster in OS 9. If that iMac had a better video card maybe that wouldn't be the case, but it doesn't and there's no replacing it so there ya go. Bottom line: OS X - more stable but perceptibly slower doing Finder operations, needs lots of RAM to run at its best OS 9 - more crash-prone, freeze-prone but faster, though manually assigning RAM is a *drag* _Chas_ Come to ...
