spuke Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm not blaming the people behind all this, they are doing an excellent job, but I'm noticing with every release things are getting slower, atleast for me on my system. I used to use 10.4.6 and 10.4.7, though with no QE/CI enabled and everything went really smooth (except those animations ). Now that I've got 10.4.8 with the Semthex kernel (I got an SSE2 processor - 3.2 Northwood) everything is going much slower, not really that much, but it is very noticeable. I used to non-stop use OSX86 since I discovered it, but with these new releases I'm starting to use my Windows XP more, cause when I got it fully optimized it seems quite a bit faster. I'm wondering if this is only with SSE2 processors, who use the Semthex kernel. I've already heard a lot more ppl having slow performance on SSE2 machines, while mine isn't really yet outdated and should function really well. I got a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz Northwood with HT and 1024 MB RAM, should work quite nice. Or am I just dreaming? :pirate2: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40260-performance-getting-worse-with-newer-releases-sse2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
powrslave Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 i'm sorry that you own a sse2 cpu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40260-performance-getting-worse-with-newer-releases-sse2/#findComment-288178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delfire Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't know, spuke, but I have a SSE2 P4 2.4 Ghz CPU with just 512 MB of DDR400 on 10.4.8 (Semthex), and it's running pretty smooth, a lot smoother than when I used to used to dd the deadmoo image some times back. Titan/Natit helped quite a bit in making the image transitions faster. But nonetheless, it probably makes most sense that OSX x86 will get slower if you still use the same old hardware that were used for earlier releases.

spuke Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well I recently started using OSX86 on a newer, faster SSE2 system and I didn't really notice any difference, I even thought it went a bit slower, guess I am a bit wrong :censored2:. Just did a reinstall today, Titan with QE/CI and I don't need to complain I guess . It's pretty much the same right now I guess. Now I'm going to try play World of Warcraft on it.
