Have Beige G3/266, upgraded from 8.6 to 9.0 and pretty much noticed
what you noticed Joshua; so when 9.1 came out I resisted for a long
time then finally put 9.1 on and have not looked back since. If you
are thinking of going 9.0, go straight on to 9.1.
IMHO 8.6 was more stable than 9.0.4, but 9.1 makes 8.6 look flaky.
Also 9.1 loads faster and operates faster than 8.6, but with that
overhead in RAM that Joshua sepeaks of above (8.6 gobbled 22Mb RAM;
9.1 gobbles 35Mb RAM).
