But on one 2-yr-old iMac, I had horrible performance problems. Finally I booted from the recovery volume and ran disk repair - it found dozens of broken hard links, which it fixed. That made some difference, but not enough. Finally I went nuclear on it - made sure I had a recent ™ backup (hah - Lion autocorrect action there :), booted from Lion DVD, erased the partition and started fresh, then restored from ™. That brought the speed up to close to what it was under SL, but it's still a dog compared to the other machines. No idea why. Frustrating. ./s _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
