 To speed up X, simply... To optimize your system, launch Terminal (applications/utilities) and type sudo update_prebinding -root / enter your root password, hit enter, let the terminal go to work, restart, and X really WILL be faster! RPS

| I hate to be ignorant, but what does update_prebinding do? Thought I'd ask, you know, before I run it and recursively rename all files on the drive ".profile" or something... |

| There are a bunch of good threads on this board that discuss update_prebinding. I recommend a Search. It's good reading. -Rob

The more you install applications, the more you update prebinding. It's a known trick, and many utilities update them. I recommend an excellent utility called MOX Optimize.

| According to a lot of places, updating the prebindings is no longer necessary in 10.2. The system apparently does it automatically when needed.

| rharder, Yes, you're right. A quick board search turned up http://radio.weblogs.com/0100490/sto...xplained.html, which discusses things in great detail, including why update_prebinding is no longer useful in X.2. So it looks like not only was my reply unecessary, but the whole thread is unecessary =) Ian |
