Any tests?

The only test I've seen is dnetcX and it was fast on a g4 1.0ghz single than on a G51.6Ghz (but they say it's because of optimization problems).

So have you guys done any tests? Is OSX snappy? etc etc

What are you expecting here?

I mean people did benchmarks and tests on OSX 10.1 saying it is as fast as OS9.

The same for 10.2 and now 10.3

You will know if it is fast if you get your work done on it faster.

And anyone benchmarking a twirl effect on a 300 meg Photoshop file obviously never does any real Photoshop work.

Who knows about the G5. But I am more interested in Panther. And yes, I agree. Everyone who was beta testing OS X.0 to X.2 all said it was faster than OS 9. But where are the numbers. We got to see the numbers!
Yes, I know I could buy a PC, but why?

I suspect that here:

will be the place to look first. Is he the first guy on the planet with not only one G5, but 2!!?
