I don't understand what's going on with Panther. I mean, I used to have 256MB RAM in my iMac: in iTunes if you turn 'Cap frame rate at 30 fps' off it used to do a minimum of like 45 frames per second. Now, after my install to Panther, it jumps between 14 and 27. And this is with my extra 512MB RAM chip now too (I have 768MB RAM). Not only that, but jumping opening apps in the Dock don't bounce smoothy, and when you click on a system preference in System Preferences when the window resizes and fades it does so very chunky. Also, when I use fast user switching with the spinning cube it doesn't run too smooth. Minimizing windows is 100% smooth and wonderful, though after using my system for about 3 hours minimizing becomes chunky too, even with nothing open. What's going on? I feel like my CPU is 700MHz slower, all this with triple my RAM!
I read somewhere that Panther ships with dodgy nVIDIA drivers but I'm not sure. Any thoughts on my situation?
P.S. Apart from this Panther absolutely rocks!
