OK, so being a technologist I’m quick to install patches where others aren’t but today I’m feeeling the brunt of the 10.5.5 upgrade on my MacBook Pro. I installed it last night and when I woke up this morning it took forever and a day to finally finish its install. So, letting it do the OSX thing as it does (showing you the flair background), I let it install and update files and then shut it down. Just got home from golf to boot this new 10.5.5 up and what do I get…It’s like trying to run through treacle. All I can hope for is that the “caching” feature that is explained as a bug fix/feature works better over time sort of like the prefetcher of Windows or I’ll solely be disappointed in 10.5.5 as I don’t see much benefit from the upgrade yet, other than more time to take a quick drink while waiting for the whirly-gig (no hourglasses in OSX).
