It’s snappier, and I’d been having weird out-of-memory problems lately. It’s been fine all day today. Had to reset some prefs; not a biggie, but the Finder “Preferences” menu item has a way to change the display of icons (on the desktop as well as all folders) to a loose, tighter, tightest config, and I always seem to have to redo that when I install upgrades. :’) Not a biggie.
The closet Mac geek at one of the Best Buys told me that the PPC versions of OS X didn’t really get great until after the switch to Intel; most of the remaining annoying problems he’d had on his G5 stopped with update after the first Intel version came out. :’) I’ve found that (besides not liking the X desktop, stupid changes to key assignments) X is a bit pokey on any machine where I’ve run Classic also, by comparison.
The temptation to grab a big screen Intel iMac is very great though — if I had the cash, I’d probably make the jump. Before I do that, though, I’ll probably get a big, cheap, 1080p flat screen, and an HDMI adapter video card for one or both of these boxes (I inherited a G4 tower, which I think is all-X all the time).
