I was just thinking the other day how slow my PB is (1.25) and wondering if the 1.5 was noticeablly faster.

Last night, I decided to repair permissions and verify my disk, and there were a few problems that I repaired. Even on lowest battery life, my PB is twice as fast just opening simple applications.

I didn't know that reparing premissions and my disk could make my PB faster.

the ones I run are:

sudo periodic daily
sudo periodic weekly
sudo periodic monthly

These seem to help keep things clean and tidy, ie performance always seems constant. I also reboot once a week (it sleeps when not in use) and do the permissions straight after. I don't use any 3rd party tools.

If your hard drive is nearly full, you could have pretty significant fragmentation that 10.3 will not automatically fix. Also, if you don't have much RAM (i.e. less than 512MB), then these two issues can compound. It's really bad when your virtual memory swap files are seriously fragmented.
