Speed Up OS X!!!! (with smoking weed)

[tismey]

Installed 10.0.4 last night, and Devtools update this morning, and app launching seems faster - Omniweb launched in less than 10 bounces (that said, I relaunched it a second ago and it was back to its usual 20-odd bounces ). Can't say the finder feels any faster, but if it's going to speed up launch times, that's good enough for me...

The first time you install the Dev tools, it prebinds all of your applications, making them faster [the optimization step of install]. Did you simply update your dev tools? Or was this the first time you installed them?

...from the original DevTools that came with OSX. and there's a definite speed improvement, although not a consistent one. Omniweb, for example, can sometimes be as fast as 4 bounces, but sometimes can take as long as it always did (20-odd)

Weird, but at least it's faster most of the time...

Ok after skimming thru all the posts i have a quick question.... I dont have Developers tools installed anywhere on my machine that i know of. So to get speed increase i should install them off the cd that came with osX and then update that version? This will make me speedy and happy?

I'm on a G3 350 with 10.0.4

I installed 10.0.1 developer tools and got omniweb in 15 bounces instead of 20, and mail in 3, then I ran X optimize and took omniweb down to 6 bounces and mail to a bounce and a half. Man it really works!!!

From what I can tell users are just eperienceing the Optimization proccess, and you don't need to install DevTools to do that. I would just go to www.versiontracker.com, and download XOptimize, and run it as the root user, and you will mostlikely get tbe same speed improvements. If you have a lot of RAM select to use more RAM, and X runs really fast.

FWIW I'll install the Dev Tools, and see if it really does anything.

I guess there must be something to this Dev Tools thing - I haven't run OSX without them since they came out in October, and I've had no complaints at all about OSX's speed.
