Techspot's reaction to Tiger ... http://www.techspot.com/
pretty much agree - on both my G4 400Mhz (512MB RAM) and a G4 1Ghz (1GB RAM) machine they both seem to launch programs and display folders with large volume of items extremely quicker and more stably than 10.3
an example I've noted is that some folders on one of the machines have in excess of 2000 items in them (!) and under 10.3 they would often take 30 seconds or more to display correctly and would frequently hang Finder. Under 10.4 it responds quickly and reliably even folders with 3500+ items a number that would make 10.3 Finder hang more times than not.
One bug I've noticed is that if you are trying to move items in to a folder with duplicate names already in the target folder often you will get a generic error code style message rather than the "an item with this name already exists in this location" warning. This Message most often comes up if you rename a item that you have already received the standard duplicate file warning and the new name is also a duplicate of another item in the target folder.
a disappointing thing and something I've sent user suggestions in to Apple as far back with the original 10.1 release is that under the the duplicate file name options there is still only the replace/omit/cancel option rather than additional choices such as automatically rename the original or moved files by adding a numeric or date modified based prefix or suffix.
