Hi everyone,
I just completly reinstalled OS X with an additional 512 MB modul (I now have 704 MB on my machine) and HPS+ instead of UFS.
Well, I must say, it is damn fast !!!
I just couldn't believe it. Even after the installation of 10.0 I was impressed because it was so much faster than before (I mean, 10.1. with 192 MB of RAM), but after 10.1. I thought "wow, that can't be ..."
Now I did all the necessary software updates and my system seems to run stable and multi-tasking performs perfectly (never saw a system that was able to handle it that good).
BTW, I had some difficulties in installing OS X. After I updated to 10.1.3 (it left out 10.1.2, I don't know why) and wanted to restart OS X wasn't able to do so because mail.app didn't quit (this problem remained). Then I tried to do it manually by "shooting" it up, but this wasn't successful. In the end I had to turn my Mac off and boot because OS X did some very interesting things (like launching the Finder several times). Fortunately, Disk repair was able to repair my OS X volume after restart (it recognized an invalid BTree Header, some minor problems and problems with the bit map).
I guess that HFS+ is a bit bug-sensitiv, on my older system configuration where I had UFS installed, I never noticed such things. Problems only accured with HFS+. (but UFS isn't the best choiche either, for it is quite slow)
Has anyone experienced similiar things while the installation?
Nevertheless, OS X really runs fine. I am planning to use it for software development and this is really something you can work with!
