even after the update
my Leopard Finder is still Slow...
How does this manifest?
in Column view on the Finder
it takes 5 - 10 seconds to display the contents of a folder
Command + Delete takes 5 secs to move an item to the trash
I am on a MacbookPro 2.33Ghz w/ 2 G's of Ram
No extra startup items...
everything else is up to speed
WTF?

Hey mduell.
I have 19 Gigs available on my Hard drive - so I don't suspect it's that.
Thought it might have been an older app running in the BG slowing things down,
Like an Unsanity Ape...
But that's all cleaned

Hmm Leopard's Finder is faster in MOST things than 10.4 was on my puny 1.25ghz G4 with 1.5g of RAM.

I know...
it's just these two things
That almost feels like it has to index again every time

you have to choose either 'options' or 'customize' on one of the very first installation screens
archive-install is quick and non-destructive. It'll preserve your apps, in addition to your user data, if you click the option to preserve users and network settings.

The question isn't how much free space you have, but what percentage. HFS+ needs about 10% free space to be happy, so on my 300GB drive it needs about 30 GB. How big is your drive?

If I knew how Apple drew it's window resources and from what I might have been able to do something. But there is no documentation on it.
I made 10.0 a tad faster with Sosumi But that was done in a completely different way compared to what Apple is doing now.
Not that 10.5 needed sped up like 10.0 did.
