I will try my best to make sense of this
10.4 is faster in all areas of testing expect User interface (which is actually what makes a difference as a slow UI makes the whole thing look slow) now these would APPEAR to mean that you should wait for 10.4. But I have heard that tiger needs faster computers (the test computer was a g5) so I would recommend getting 10.3 now! to be safe (and to experance a speed boost and a newer better OS) and then if you REALLY need 10.4 you can still get it.
Summary
- 10.3 is (apparently) faster than 10.2 on slow macs and gives them a speed boost although i cannot confirm this
- 10.4 is faster than tiger but only only fast macs so far
- 10.4 out in 2005

thanks for all your work! Other friends who have gone from 10.2 to 10.3 have said that there is an improvement for slower machines, so I think we can take that as fact. I'm interested in what you're saying about 10.4 - that it's just the UI that'll slow it down - because of course there's always the option of switching animated effects off. That would still be a pity because I quite like the genie animation for minimizing/maximizing windows! I think I will get 10.3 before the end of the year and then wait for other people to give their feedback on 10.4 before I decide whether to risk it.
