wahwahman89 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 This happened on both Hackintoshes I ever had, including my newest 8800GT with a Q6600 processor. Basically what happens is that after about 20 hours of uptime, animations (such as genie and scale) gradually become worse as I go. Slower, jumpier. For the old Hack, see my sig, as for the new one, it is as follows: Kalyway 10.5.1 with PC_EFI 500GB OS X + 500GB Vista x64 PNY 8800GT 512MB Gigabyte P35-DS3R As for BIOS settings, I changed HPET mode to 64 bit, Virtualisation is ON and Disk mode is on IDE. Everything else is default. Thanks geniuses! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83624-leopard-animations-becoming-slow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, check your RAM usage, Virtual memory size, hard drive access, and network.

Korrupted Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Make sure you read the Help concerning Activity Monitor; it represents RAM differently than windows.

wahwahman89 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks guys... One more thing. Darwin sees my 512MB 8800GT as 14MB VESA 3.0. Maybe that has something to do with it? Thanks Make sure you read the Help concerning Activity Monitor; it represents RAM differently than windows.

jwalker46 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have noticed the same problem, and there is nothing amiss in Activity Monitor; cpu usage is minimal (E6600), and only 1 of 2gb ram is active.

Cinner Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have the exact same problem. After a little while the Genie minimize effect becomes very sluggish, but all other expose effects remain smooth for some reason. I have an 8800 GT and I'm using the new 10.5.2 graphics driver. I have 4 gigs of very fast RAM, so that shouldn't be a problem. Also, my 4 CPU cores are doing very little, and there's almost no hard drive activity that could slow things down. Does anybody have other suggestions for this problem?

Djo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Same problem with my 6600LE, the genie effect is working good then becomes all slow after some uptime despite the fact all the other effects are smooth Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83624-leopard-animations-becoming-slow/#findComment-722755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayingKarrde Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Are QE and CI both working correctly? (can be found in about this mac). Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83624-leopard-animations-becoming-slow/#findComment-723359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporATX Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 This is a bug in 10.5 not a hackie problem. Apple still hasn't fixed it. Seems to randomly effect a wide range of machines. Fixes: -Reboot (sometimes works) -Trash dock prefs (sometimes works) Best fix: Change to the scale effect until they fix it.
