I was wondering what effect the Procesor Performance Setting (bus slewing) had on the performance of my G5. So I ran a couple tests to find out.

The reduced setting is very slow (comparitively). However, the automatic and highest settings produce almost exactly the same results (i.e. it makes no difference either way).

If you want to see the tests I did, check out this page: http://homepage.mac.com/giantmike/te...usettings.html

Macworld mentioned that it can lower performace by 4-6%. Big whoop.

I did't even notice THAT big of a difference (except for in reduced mode).
