neon_eddy Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I was fiddling around some where with preferences and such.. and I tried reversing them all, but no luck. ALL MY ANIMATIONS ARE SLOW! expose, dock, but everything responds fast, like once the program is up, it's fast . but the animation of minimize and maximize is just slow, not choppy either.. it's like the SHIFT button is down all the time. (try holding shift when using expose or something) now for the really wierd part. With this "slowness" I get an xbench score of 189 or so .. I usually get 45 to 47. it's like it's running in bullet time or something any body got any answers?

Gadzookz Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I've got the exact same issue on a Toshiba R100 I'm running 10.4.3 build 1111g Looks like its an issue with the Real time clock. If you watch the clock, it goes VERY slow. Sounds play for me, but pause for great periods. Indicating that the timing is way off. I too get the really high xBench scores. This makes sense if xBench bases the tests off how long each one takes to complete as for example 5 seconds actually takes 15 seconds on this machine. Strange how it only affects visual eye candy though. TinkerTool has been able to remove some of the effects and I'm using scale for the minimise function. Strange thing is 10.4.1 worked beautifully on this system. 10.4.5 (patched DVD) did the same as 10.4.3 (Patched 4.2b JaS) I wonder if there is some sort of solution? Of course my video card is stuck in VESA 2.0 so its just a pain all round. Any one?

Pehaps it's to late...but i've found the solution for this problems that works for me, i hope also for you.
