Pu7o Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Well, I did what some would consider 1. Stupid; 2. Useless, 3. Unnecessary risk. I actually replaced the encrypted files on my iMac with maxxuss' patched ones. The idea is that since the OS doesn't have to decrypt them, I might gain a little extra speed. Now, the question... Does this really bring any advantage? Is my theory correct at all? (I already did it and nothing broke from what I see, so I guess it didn't hurt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pu7o Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Well, Rosetta "seems" faster, but I really can't tell for sure. That's why I'm asking someone who actually understands this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 At most any possible speed increase is extremely extremely marginal. The binaries are decrypted on-the-fly in official Intel Apple computers in a way that there should be barely a difference in application loading times.

Tek_No Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hehe, reminds me to the Cubase users who actually bought the sequencer software and had a hardware dongle... After a while there was a "virtual dongle" floating around that was much faster than accessing the real dongle so the official Cubase users were complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
