Caution: these images are really F***ing big but nevertheless one reason OS X rocks

I believe a bit over 50 apps were open, imovie was closed because I couldn't get to the dock with it open. The average cpu usage was about 70%.

yes, i was playing q3 and rtcw in the background too!

1.2MB and 881kb for those images? You should use that copy of Photoshop in your dock and compress them down a little more. That plus your server is damn slow, it took forever to load those on a T3. How much RAM in your DP?

Mac Zealot · May 28, 2002, 06:15 PM

Yeah, just as I warned, it's only a 128kbps upload so it won't be fast.

Congratulations on your 1,000th post.

I don't see how/why you'd play RtCW, Q3, and EV:N all at the same time, though.

please correct me if im wrong, but i really dont see the point of this "demonstration".

yes you have lots of apps open, but are any of them actually DOING anything?

TNproud2b · May 28, 2002, 06:58 PM

This 'contest' has been done several times before.

A PeeCee kicked everybody's butt.

Search the OSX forum.

Good thing the Finder in Jaguar is getting better multithreading, my PC whips my Macs around in multitasking and launch times. Mounting an iDisk or waiting for a CD to spin up makes it hang more often than I'd like. Only a few more months...

Is launching hundreds of apps supposed to prove something? Looking at my machines, I have 7 apps open on the Mac and 8 on the PC. Same thing with the guys that brag about uptime, I don't get it.

Edit: speeling, should have used OmniWeb

When I was saving some scans from Photoshop earlier today and had an audio CD in the drive, the save dialog box came up and didn't load all the way. The CD drive in my TiBook spun up, took a couple of seconds, then the box rendered fully. Happens quite a bit on my machine and a couple of others at work. <img border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" title="" src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" />

That's about as much as I feel like wasting my time doing

Can someone count it up for me?

(btw in all ways I'm sorry about that overlaying watermark, but it was the only way to get anything)

G4ME · May 28, 2002, 10:41 PM

try running RC% and all of those apps and then lets see how far you go. I can get every thing up and running but it is damn slow with 200% used.

Mac Zealot · May 28, 2002, 11:01 PM

Ok , to be exact according to that last image:

Processes: 151 total, 10 running, 34 stuck, 107 sleeping, 554 threads open
CPU Usage wasn't even half way up.
VM: 14gb in use, 277,992 pageins, 505,527 pageouts.

scaught · May 29, 2002, 10:00 AM

well. i tried to ask this question before and noone answered so ill try it again.

can anyone tell me why having a bunch of apps "open" is impressive at all?

). your "flame" was one of the stupidest ever. "from the highest of em", what the hell is that supposed to even mean?

TNproud2b · May 29, 2002, 10:16 AM

My XP has a terminal window.

I never have to use it because the OS is refined to the point of not needing to use a 1950's text interface.

OSX users still need the terminal in order to empty their trash.

"Not enough privileges?" hahaha

sudo your root.
