Re: Alls quiet?

[Felix]

When I was in Jaguar and I created a new user and logged in as that 
user, I noticed that when that user folder was nearly empty, the sysem 
was much snappier than in my regular user account--snappier being a 
relative term of course--since this is still a beige g3 300!  So in 
Panther, it feels even snappier than that--the Finder feels like I'm 
running it on OS 9 almost!--but I can't tell if it's partly because I 
haven't installed a bunch of stuff yet and/or I haven't restored a bunch 
of files, etc.  Most of them are residing in that other partition.  The 
other thing at work of course is that I'm using the Radeon 64mb card and 
not the onboard video (6mb).  Don't know how much of a difference that 
would make.  Safari is definitely snappier too--when I browse through my 
bookmarks and organize them and so forth. 

I did an archive and install and have delted the previous system folder. 

So I would describe the difference as surprising--usually the newer 
stuff  more demanding on hardware.  panther feels like it's giving this 
old computer a semblance of "diginity" again.

It's really that much faster than Jaguar?
