address the problem within a few months Whew! that's a biggie. That's pretty lax. I'm going to tell my buddy about this as he was going to buy it right away. I was wondering if spotlight would slow down the system. It sounds great but it seemed to me that it was something like indexing going on constantly.

isn't spotlight the same kind of technology as the google desktop? Anybody know? Google desktop does indeed burn CPU cycles, but, it defines a new layer as far as file systems go afaic (content of your data instead of file names). The windows OS is an absolute disaster as far as trying to figure out where your files are, whats in them, or what.

I received and installed Tiger on Monday. I have a G 5 Dual 2.5 with 2.5G of RAM and this IS a problem for me. I work mainly with Adobe CS. When I switch between Illustrator, InDesign and PhotoShop, the delays are there and are VERY annoying and slow the work flow down significantly. Been looking for this problem since I read about it and installed Tiger on both my antique G3 iBooks. But, don't see it happening to me, at all. In fact -- surprisingly -- the machines seem to be operating a tad faster than they were with Panther. Go figure... P.S. On the newer of the two iBooks I easy installed. On the older I installed only the bare bones (to conserve HD space). Don't detect any performance difference between the two...
