Anyone have any comparisons between 9.0 and 9.1? Was the slowness introduced in 9.0 and then carried over into 9.1, or is 9.1 faster or slower than 9.0? 8.2 to 9.0 definitely brought a huge hit.
9.1 is slower.....install 9.0 or stay with 8.2.
Well, that's certainly not true for all hardware. I've got a 300MHz PII laptop that ran fairly well with 8.2. Its performance under 9.0 was, to say the least, abysmal. I was beginning to think it had finally reached the end of its usefullness as my desktop for work, unless I wanted to stick with 8.2. Then I installed 9.1 on it and, boy howdee, it runs great again. In fact, it feels faster than 8.2. Steve
