Oddly, OS X 10.1 actually performed worse than version 10.0.4 on our PDF scrolling test-and both lagged very far behind OS 9.Īccording to Apple, every dimension of the operating system has been modified to improve performance-the virtual memory system, the file system, the graphics subsystems-and there have been innumerable small speed improvements as well. In our graphics-intensive Quake III tests, version 10.1 was clearly faster than version 10.0.4, but it was slower than OS 9 on all systems except the dual-processor 800MHz Power Mac G4. In addition, OS X 10.1 offers native support of the GeForce3 acceleration card. According to Apple, the speed of graphics drawn via OpenGL has increased by 20 percent in this release.

Generally, drawing on-screen graphics has gotten a big boost in version 10.1, especially in the 3-D realm.

OS X 10.1 also tended to be as fast as or faster than OS 9 on G4 systems, but it was slower on G3 Macs.
