Tue Aug 23, 2005 11:41 pm Subject: Guys, neat article, but please correct the grammatical error
Anyway it's nothing like what I was going through on OS 9. Mac OS 9.2.2 was relatively stable for me, but like since System 7 I had to reboot often just to get performance back after a few hours of use. I must admit than in those days I was always running the bare possible minimum of RAM, and a lot of VM. The logout/login trick shows that in OS X, the problem is not related to Virtual Memory (at least for me).Recent Headlines - Updated Wednesday, November 30th, 2005
