Now I've had good performance since I've upgraded. I did change my hard drive and went from a client kit to the developer's kit, but still, I'd think that wouldn't make much difference. I wouldn't say its any faster, but it isn't any slower either. Also, you mention your swap file growing like crazy, but mine actually dropped. It used to boot up at 20MB for swap space, but now only at 16MB. In addition, it didn't take too much to get the swapfile to grow, but since 3.0, I haven't seen much growth in the swap file at all. And now I have even more apps open at once since I've got the developers tools. jerrod
