        I always created a directory called "dls" that I set as my default  
download location. Icons on the desktop have a small but measurable  
performance hit on OS X.

        Leopard by default creates and uses a 'Downloads' directory. While  
this is an improvement over using the Desktop folder, it sucks at the  
command line, as I now have to type *3* characters to get completion!
