Are you complaining that OS X includes a much better virtual memory management scheme than OS 9? What are you talking about? OS 9's memory management was a joke! With OS X you don't even have to worry about memory allocation, it's completely transparent. And if I remember correctly, you can indeed turn virtual memory off (it's in one of the configuration files), but that would be a big no no, since it can cause all kinds of havoc.

How is Apple being way behind? Just because it's not using AMD/Intel chips it's suddenly way behind? Heck, UltraSPARC chips and MIPS chips used in Sun and SGI boxes are barely hitting 1GHz and that's at the highend of their product line, yet no one is screaming that those boxes are underperfomers. So what are these complaint directed at specifically?
