macprodan Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I found that my MacBook Pro Slowed down a little since i got it, I did the Disk-Repair / Optimization in OnyX and tried other usual things till i did this to fix it. I updated pre-binding (should not have had to do this) and removed all but needed languages and architectures using monolingual (dont think this made a difference, but hey freed 2.6 gig) boot time is fast , other apps are faster and safari now opens in 1 bounce again PPC apps dont open no more but heck sice PS3 i dont need none i can live without word... anyone got anymore speed tips for OS X and the MacBook Pro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36243-back-up-to-speed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 monolingual really should warn people that its going to strip PPC out of EVERYTHING - apps AND frameworks. it basically totally destroys Rosetta.

39thRonin Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Munky - I agee. I did something like this a while ago and settled on using Tinkertool System http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerToolSys.html as it allowed me to specify which apps got stripped. The result was quite nice, and I got to pick apps that I wanted to speed up rather than taking the bulk approach. BTW, the Tinkertool system is a really great piece of software (and I have NO connection with the company at all - just a happy user) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36243-back-up-to-speed/#findComment-258105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
