Eiko Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Isn't SSE3 used to accelerate those PowerPC apps? I run a installer of borland tegether, which is actually a PowerPC application It takes 2G of virtual ram and around 85% CPU time with 17 threads... Oh my god... my opteron 146 is {censored}...

sn8k Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 first, try to reinstall ... i used to have the same issue, and that was just caused by a bad installation ... then you better try searchin' for universal binaries instead of using PPc apps ... and let the PPc apps runs on a REAL mac Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21766-powerpc-apps-still-run-slow-like-hell-on-my-sse3-osx/#findComment-143726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 emulation is always slow. That's just something you gotta deal with.

Order2Chaos Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 A good test would be trying the same thing on an intel Mac , I bet it will still run like {censored}. Some things just emulate better in rosetta than others , sounds like you are trying to run some kind of pro app which may be designed/optimized for the G5. I only have SSE2 but Maya 7 works suprizingly well in rosetta , on the other hand Flash runs slow as hell in rosetta...
