jdog1001 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I get amazing performance with Leopard. I have a pretty nice processor and plenty of memory though. Specs listed... Crappy Mobo Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2 GB Memory Crappy onboard video card I used the Leopard Install by BrazilMac and I used the "Format & Make Bootable HD for Leopard" CD by Kalyway. Let me know if you have any other questions. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-496571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoarthing Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Leopard [ToH] seems every bit as responsive on this box as a well-sorted XxX 10.4.10 install.

i_am...me Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 it will be slow at first since spot light is indexing. after its done it goes wayy faster Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-496733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaleyu Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Do you mean stuttering, slow response even when you typed in terminal? I have the same situation with BrazilMac, I solved it by disable one of my dual core.

ohno66 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 well, my read support are at about 7MB/sec and the write support never goes beyond 3MB/sec when i look at it in the activity monitor. maybe its because i'm using ntfs-3g for my ntfs disks that contain most of my music, movies etc. but it seems like the systems HFS+ partition is just as slow. takes forever to start the programs, booting is slow. but the programs are working ok once they start running. everything worked fine in tiger though. otherwise i'm having decent hardware to. gigabyte 965p-ds4 c2d 4300 @ 2,9GHz x1950xt 2GB memory a bunch of fairly new disks btw i'm running my 'flat' release Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-497279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkmuppet Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm running Leopard ToH and it's pretty snippy. But I get a kernel panic if I set to use both Cores in the bios. But even on one core it's still pretty quick.... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-497327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon w Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 My new install seems to be very slow and I can hear the drive churning away, how can I tell if this is just spotlight indexing? I see spotlight listed in performance monitor but it doesn't seem to be killing the CPU or anything.

abgarluka Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 it doesn't kill cpu, but occupies hdd a lot -> check disk usage in monitor my leo runs super-smooth, all cores enabled, on intel q6600, intel 965 chipset & 4GB ram, 8800 gtx gpu. p.s. - did you install nvinject package for your gts?

jon w Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yes, the nvinject from mac.nub's package I believe, works very well. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-515006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBo Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Sounds like a kext issue, if you know its disk problems try backing up and replacing your ATA kexts. It could also depend on your hardware. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-515223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
qbattersby Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 My leopard install flies! Used brazilmacs method, and I actually score a few points higher on Xbench, probably just luck I guess. Mind you I have no NTFS drives, and my machine is up there, I know slow CPU, but both cores work. I had issues with NTFS drives in Tiger and eventually just took Vista off my machine entirely and solely just use parallels now.

jon w Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Mmm, NTFS you say? I have three NTFS drives on this machine. What kind of problems did you have?

qbattersby Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well, it was mainly transfer problems specifically, I would try transfering files from NTFS to my HFS partition and it would go terribly slow! Also it would usually timeout while transferring. Mind you I was transferring over like 30gbs of music. Maybe that is why you have the slow performance, if you are using the NTFS drives frequently. You wouldnt think it would affect overall performance as the OS is installed on a HFS drive, not sure, just a thought though.You do have the option of formatting the drives as FAT32 which is fully supported in OSX and Windows, however there are limitations to this specificially you cannot have files larger than 4gbs. Read it up and check it out. I tried this solution and wasn't happy with it.Hope I could help a bit.Cheers and good luckAlso to check if spotlight is indexing just click on it, it will tell you. It is always indexing in a sense, but initially it indexes everything. Which sometimes takes hours.May be your problem if it indexing your NTFS drives.

cheff0r Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Do you mean stuttering, slow response even when you typed in terminal? I have the same situation with BrazilMac, I solved it by disable one of my dual core. did you get this error from the beginning? i'm dealing with the same {censored}, but it came suddenly.... one day before everyting worked absolutley fine for about 2 weeks (ToH RC2)... even reinstall didn't help (but i restored from a time machine backup after install). i'm doing a fresh install right now.. (at least i try, something won't let me this time... sucks a lot ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-530311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegodfaza Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Think of it like upgrading from XP to Vista. It will run a little slower than Tiger just because of the eye candy.

cheff0r Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Think of it like upgrading from XP to Vista. It will run a little slower than Tiger just because of the eye candy. no no, not that kind of "slow". it was really every 30 seconds a lag for about 3 seconds.... not slower performance, just i don't know... it sucked like hell i did a fresh install now without recover data from my backup... works fine.. seems like i have installed some very problematic stuff somewhere Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69862-slow-perfomance/#findComment-531115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
