I agree with the speed improvements, and especially with the advantages of
Copy Agents, but wonder if I'm the only person in the known universe (AKA
this list) to have encountered application conflicts with SpeedDoubler?
Hypercard, SimpleText, and Battery Recondition all refused to run with it
loaded: the identical symptoms have occurred on a 5300c under 8.5, on a
5300ce under 7.5.5, and after several months with no problems, on a 7600
(desktop) under 8.6. It all became so annoying that I've given up on SD
altogether (rather regretfully).
Best,
