| Quicksilver?
I just benchmarked the macs at work with the GUI version.
Both running 10.0.4
G3 iMac 233 = 4.056667
G4 Quicksilver 733 = 1.486667
I was expecting the 733 to be closer to 1.2 or even 1.1 which would be nearly 2x faster than my 400 G4 at home.
The math works out to be what I would expect a 550mhz G4 to handle the calculations. I did notice that the Window Manager and other processes required just as much CPU power as on my G4 400. Maybe when 10.1 comes out (window manager is suppose to be a lot faster) the results will be different.
I have a friend that has a 667 G4, and he said he would try it out. He needs to repartition his drive to install X, so it will be a few days.
