Good post Eidorian, I'll have to update my iBook asap.:)

[Eidorian]

I hope it fixes the piss poor boot times on my iMac G5 at home. I'm at work. :-)

[Fats]

My iBook boot time ftw! It's really quick! :)

[Eidorian]

My iBook boot time ftw! It's really quick! :)10.4.0 boots in 35-40 seconds. 10.4.4 takes two minutes. :-(

My Mac's been sluggish lately with 10.4.4. Can anyone suggest I update?

[Fats]

It's really odd that it takes two minutes to boot up using 10.4.4, and Nesman you're saying that your Mac's been really sluggish... My iBook is totally fine. Odd that.

10.4.5 already? Leopard draws near.

[Fats]

Ummmm Leopard.:)

[Moses]

I hope 10.5 is like 10.3 was to 10.2, nothing fancy, just a huge overhaul/performance boost.

hearing about this almost makes me happy to know I can't go beyond 10.3.9

Eidorian, do you have alot of startup progys or widgets?? I can't imagine taking 2 min to start up.

Eidorian, do you have alot of startup progys or widgets?? I can't imagine taking 2 min to start up.I have the same stuff at work on my Mirrored Drive Door and it boots up lightning quick. It might be my Logitech Software though.

*Takes plunge*

Going to update now.

There shouldn't me a MS Office Update. When you don't release a stand alone update in 3 years you have made the statement that your product is perfect.

That's not to bad. I've heard some nasty things about killing the Microsoft AU Daemon.

[Moses]

Oh, I hate Entourage. But still, who feels cool running anything 2003?

[Eidorian]

Oh, I hate Entourage. But still, who feels cool running anything 2003?I see too many people on campus running Entourage. It's scary.

[Fats]

Entourage, something that I never use. I don't even know what it is.

*Google time*

[Moses]

Mac version of Outlook.

[Fats]

Ah right, pointless then. Mail ftw.

[Eidorian]

I'll clock my iMac G5's boot time and disable Microsoft AU Daemon. It appears to be related to Entourage and database updates. Considering I don't use Entourage it doesn't seem to be a problem.

[nesman]

Ok, I updated to 10.4.5 and my Mac has been running like its old self again. My boot time isn't very long around 15 seconds or so. But I avoid that hassle by just putting my Mac to sleep, instant wake-up :)

[Eidorian]

37 seconds from power on to the login screen. I'm happy enough. I killed the Microsoft AU Daemon. That must have been causing issues post 10.4.3.

Some things appear a bit faster with this new OS X update. So far it hasn't messed anything up for me. It was only a 6.4 MB download anyway.

[Moses]

It probably just undoes that X86 hax shit.
