OK, on a B&W G3/450 (256MB, built-in video)
- PPC: 9 seconds (Mac OS 9.1, VM off)
- Carbon: 117 seconds (Mac OS X commercial release)
What the hell's up with that?!@##$? Did you hear that an update will
be posted any day via the Software Update feature? It will supposedly
increase performance.

Here's results on my new 733Mhz G4.
OS 9.1 PPC: 4 seconds (4897673 microseconds)
OS 9.1 Carbon: 5 seconds (5142377 microseconds)
OS X Carbon: 59 seconds (59135667 microseconds)
I too am a long time Apple fan and buyer of most systems they have
released. The OS X beta was pretty solid for a beta ... but seems
like its gone down from there! Not only is it slower than OS 9 (and
your pick of Windows on Intel), but it crashed ... yes the OS froze 3
times the first 2 hours using it. Apple better get their @$%& together
quickly on this or they'll have their most loyal users giving up on them.
OS X was the opportunity to kick Windows' ass, but it feels like a
"windows 1.0" blunder so far.
...Gap in time where I was negligent in copying emails to the page...

Hey Rob it took me 70 sec in OS X to run Let1kWindowsBloom. I am running
10.1.5 on a G3 700 iBook with 640 megs of ram.
I ran the carbon version on both my 9600/300 with a Newer Tech 500 MHz G3 and
an ATI Xclaim VR graphics card (1024 MB RAM) running OS 9.0.4, and my new
iBook 700, 324 MB RAM, OS 10.1.5.
Results are:
9600: 14.7 seconds (3 test average)
iBook 700: 61.5 seconds. (2 tests)

Bob Patterson
