Hello,
Just wondering if anyone else has found a significant speed improvement (frame rate/responsiveness) with the new update. Noticed on my POwerbook that Unreal 2004 is now playable!

and....Mac Classic II (still running well)
and.....a couple of homebuilt game machines and other ancient stuff like OS/2, BeOS, and Windows 2.0!

Very odd.. I have a PowerBook of identical specification, UT 2003 & UT 2004 performance took a complete nose dive to the point of becoming unplayable. And curiously enough, Many other people reported the same thing. Check the Games and PowerBook forums. It's been talked about rather a lot already.
I'm very curious why you saw an improvement however, while many folk saw the complete opposite, on this game at least..

The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

I saw VLC move to taking 60% CPU on MPEG-2 playback. Previously it was at 20%.

Its been reported in several places that OpenGL graphics, including games, are slower in 10.3.4 than they were previously.
