Talking ! How to make OS X Fast as !@#$

For you of those that have G3's or are complaining how slow OS X can be somtimes, You guys have got to try this! Shadow Killer Download it now!! Now! What are you wating for!!? This is such a small app and you only have to open it once to see its efffects forever. I guarantee that your computer will go at least 2 times faster when it comes to menus/resizing/moving windows

This is the best optimizing App i have ever seen and it is so amazing....

......

this app has been mentioned more than a few times, but I dunno if it ever was about speed... and I didn't really see it from that point of view...

but I just can't get used to the way things look because there isn't any border on the left side of the windows... if you don't have any windows stacked, I guess it's ok...

well, I'm not on G3 now, but I'm gonna run it for a few days to see if I can get used to the view... and I never really felt like complaining about window resizing, etc, so I don't really know about the speed improvement... can't hurt though, I think

Whitesaint:

Not trying to be rude, but you seem to have a history of making senational headlines for the topic of your posts. I would very much like to see objective results of your claims to "I guarantee that your computer will go at least 2 times faster when it comes to menus/resizing/moving windows". From yur claims, I expect to see the time (in seconds) between standard OS X menus/resizing/moving windows and modified OS X menus/resizing/moving windows. I REALLY dislike it when people make claims about ANYTHING without showing supporting evidence or facts. When it comes to reporting facts, I as a chemist refute all that I cannot see before in black and white. And might I also add, that you should conduct this experiement multiple times on your Mac and as many Macs as you can find. It is standard to report min, max, mean, standard deviation, and correlation statistics when reports such figures. If you need a stop watch, I can provide one, if you need a formula, I can provide that too.

Please don't take this wrong, not trying to be rude, but I'm very tired of seeing "OH THIS WILL SPEED UP YOUR COMPUTER LOTS MAN!...Trust me....

As with many of the readers here, we seek proof to your claims...that is all.

I just tried it on my B/W G3 450.

dragged some windows around, resized them.
I tested in the Finder and in IE and Textedit.

I couldn't feel much speedimprovement, it was rather minimal.
In fact it was so minimal that I rather look at the bit slower shadows

But I guess it surely helps on systems slower than mine, though.

simmer down. He was asking you to verify your claims, no need for personal attacks.
