I know that the keynote was this morning, but anyone know if the performance improvements in iPhoto will be noticed on a iBook 600 384MB 10.3.2? This would be the iApp that is appealing to me. Any ideas?

I'm not sure but I'm in the same boat with the performance of iphoto. It's usable but it takes quite a while to startup and importing images is painful. I actually use image capture now and then import them into iphoto later after I see what I want to throw out.
I imagine there has been some speed improvements. I know if I archive my photos to reduce the amount of images in my library, iphoto speeds up significantly. I'm on a 12" 800 with max RAM(640)-
Is it going to be a free update or do we have to buy ilife as a suite when it comes out? Anybody know?
I'm hoping for a speed boost like jaguar to panther.

you will need to buy iLife to get iPhoto... and it looks like it is much faster... at least usable on a 800mhz ibook
i hope

I would get more RAM for your iBook then it would probably be a little more tolerable

On these forums I found quite a lot of people with similar problems, i.e. slow iPhoto performance. Slow? Well, more like crawling more than once in a while.
One advice was to turn the shadows of in the general view, that helped a lot for me! 
Another advice was to activate view by roll and collapse the rolls you do not need. Although useful for sure, I am enjoying seeing all my photos when scrolling through (even if just for memories coming back when seeing some of them flash by), and thus I would not collapse any of them.
Another help in this area is iPhoto Buddy http://nofences.net/iphotoBuddy/
Anyway, having some 9,000 photos I am dearly waiting for the new iPhoto and I expect it to boost speed on any system. My iBook 366 definitely needs it when viewing photos!

arclight, general opinion on these boards seems to be that iLife apps will not be free updates anymore (except iTunes, for obvious reasons), but I guess we all keep hope up for maybe iPhoto being a free update. Keep your fingers crossed!
It's gonna be free with every new mac, and as an edu customer you can get it for $29, which is not too bad after all.

Even at $49, iLife is a hell of a bargain. Considering you get the best photo management, consumer movie editing, and consumer DVD editing software on the market. Not to mention GarageBand! I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on that one!
