This is not unique to the Macintosh. Minor OS revisions often have performance improvements: Win3.0 -> 3.1, OS/2 2.0 -> 2.1, WinNT 3.1 -> 3.5, ... Win96/97 will probably have better performance than 95. What will be really interesting is how Copeland performs compared to System 7.5. Will the greater percentage of native code overcome the "enhancements" that slow down other areas. Getting those candy-striped window frames cost CPU cycles. Personally I'm expecting Copeland to be a Win95-ish wimpy upgrade, Gershwin is what I really want. Tony -- ------------------ Tony Tribelli adtribelli@acm.org
