Ashok0 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Help! I just installed Kalway 10.5.1 vanilla kernel + EFI + GUID on my Intel Q6600. I'm running a Gigabyte P35-DS3P v1.1 mobo with 2GB DDR2 RAM. Everything is working 100% perfect. Onboard NIC detected, ALC889a audio working, GeForce 8800GTS 320mb working great with NVinject. Just installed iLife '08 w/o a hitch. The problem is, Leopard is really really laggy for me... if I drag windows around the screen OSX seems fine... but if I visit a website with lots of gfx like deviantart and start scrolling up and down, Leopard slows down like an oil tanker, and scrolling up/down is really really jerky. And when I open a few applications in Leo, I start getting the beachball. It's not real bad, but it's definately ALOT slower than Vista. Is this normal or are there any BIOS tweaks or Leo tweaks I can make to increase my performance? Heck, would adding another few GB of RAM help me (maybe go up to 4GB)??? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

Marcaen Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Do you have speedstep turned on in your BIOS? Disable it, if so. Also, Go to Energy Saving and disable the hard drive sleeping.

Dreamaker Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I got the same problem. I working with Adobe CS3. But I detected very slow action in GUI. Everythink works, but very slow. In Vista all my work goes much faster. In Vista I can open many windows and get fast move. Any ideas?

AlterSack Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi, i had a similar problem, and narrowd it down to poor HD performance. Basicly if more than one program is using the hard drive everything was incredibly slow. I could fix it by changing the BIOS Settings for the SATA hard drives. At first they were on factory default where the sata drives did not use ahci and were running as ide devices. when i switched over to AHCi, SATA native mode Leopard was running at normal speed.
