I just got done running a battery of disk fixing utilities on my new G4 because I think it might be broke, including the hardware and memory test CD, and found no trouble anywhere. Before I take my machine in(new g4 dual 1GHz) to see if it really is broke, I was wondering if the following is a known issue with OSX:
This is a test I tried because I noticed a significant peformance degradation in Photoshop 7 while in the OSX environment vs. in Classic environment.
While in Classic, Open Photoshop 7 and create 10, 22"X18" 72dpi RGB images.(I often work with this many and more at the same time). Then, hide Photoshop. All the windows close instantly without even a half second delay. Now, unhide Photoshop and the images all open up instatly as well in under a half second.
Now run this same exact test in the OSX environment and what happens(at least on my machine) is that it takes about a half second more to create the images, then when you hide photoshop, it flashes briefly through each separate image window, in effect closing each one before it actually hides Photoshop itself. this takes about 5 times longer then in Classic. The same is true when I unhide Photoshop each window is redrawn, then Photoshop appears, it's panels are redrawn, then I get beachballed for a second or so, again taking about 5 times longer to unhide(4 seconds).
This performance degradation is representative of all functions and aspects of Photoshop 7 on the same machine.
just wondering, is this normal? or do you think I really am broke?
