On the same hardware it'll never be as fast as OS 9 IMO. There's just too much more going on in the system for that to happen.

Can Mac OS X get faster then?

Is it possible for Apple to push Mac OS X 10.2 over the limit?
Is it possible to make it more faster???

With something as complicated as Mac OS X, there's always optimizations to be made. Look how long it took Apple to optimize the Classic OS

It'll no doubt get somewhat faster, but won't every be as fast as OS 9 on the same hardware.

Same hardware…

Ask the same question in Feb. 2003 to get X.2 faster than Classic. I'm waiting until then to get on Jag.

I noticed a significant speed increase after fresh-installing jag and then repairing priveleges on my iBook 500. It is now quite possibly as fast as it was when running OS 9.

So long I only use Carbon apps my overall efficiency is about the same with MacOS and OS X. I would say better with OS X because it's stable.
