Re: [PCI] OSX versus OS9

[Tom W.]

I have a G4-500 B&W. I find that OS X window opening, etc. is slower 
than OS9, but having said that, the refinements, additions, etc. make it 
amazing to use. I would not go back to OS 9 just for speed. I use Quark 
4.11 in classic mode almost every day, and it seems less responsive than 
in OS9, but not so much that I would boot into classic mode. Same with 
Photoshop. In regards to PCI Mac, I ran X on my 9600 G3-400 and found it 
a tad slow.  On that particular machine, with that upgrade, I preferred 
to use OS 9.
Just my two cents.

Thanks to everybody who has replied to my question.
So really my question is to anyone who has a PCI mac (with some sort of
acceleration) that ran Quark, Freehand and Photoshop under OS9 and now does
the same under OSX whether everyday tasks now seem slower, faster or no
different than before?
Many thanks
Nick
