I realize XBench is ancient but it's still running the same tests between OS versions and identical OS machines to give a reasonable estimate of differences over several passes. Well, ML has more eye candy and I just got a 2012 quad-core Mac Mini a few months ago and it feels like lightning so perhaps it was my imagination? I just upgraded my 2008 Macbook Pro (the one with the notorious NVidia 8600M GT that I've had no trouble with here) to Mountain Lion last night and after getting everything reorganized and updated (rid/replaced PPC stuff, etc.), it just seemed like the interface felt slower.
Graphics is faster, but the cost of memory leakage, I need to constantly reset VRAM by flip-flopping GPU once in a while, which is tedious. Buggy as hell.ġ0.8 -> MBP 15" 2010 with SSD - Better and faster than Lion, but still overall slower compared to SL, and graphics memory leakage still persistent. Takes a whole lot more RAM even on basic tasks. Graphics memory leakage even until the latest iteration of 10.8.2. Runs even faster on SSD with my MBP.ġ0.7 -> MBP 15" 2010 with SSD - Hell all over.
BETTER THAN SYNKRON OS X MAC OS X
Problem alleviated with 10.5.7 update.ġ0.6 -> Mac Pro 2009 and MBP 15" 2010 - The epitome of Mac OS X after they got rid of support for PowerPC-based hardware. Sluggished graphics when all 8 cores are maxed out. Multiple-CPU processing is good, especially on the first 8-core Mac Pro (despite the power consumption).ġ0.5 -> Mac Pro 2009 - Slow and bloated by the new features.
10.4 -> iMac 17" iSight and Mac Pro 2007 - Stable and fast despite on 7200-rpm drive.
