This post is just intended to get an idea of other people's experiences with the new firmware update for the Macbook. It has certainly fixed the moo on my unit and lowered the operating temperature, but I wonder if anyone else has had programs hang on them?

Since my update, I've seen the beachball of death about five times in Safari and a few times in other applications. This didn't occur once before the update. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

Do you have more than 512mb RAM?

Yes. 2 GB. I actually ran some maintenance scripts and it seems to have fixed the problem.

What specific "maintenance scripts" did you run?
