Rev.2 Beta 2 Test Reports - Page 16

No, it's perfect.

The Performance increased a lot since it has EFI.
The system performance feels very smooth, and programs open (even) faster than on Rev1.

System Updater told me that everything is up to date - iTunes and other Programs that I tested work nice.

It basically feels like the RC1 that I customized for a week or two to make it work nicely,
but much more smooth and faster, I guess that's because the stock kexts work very well together.

Edit: The processor load is now at about 4-8%, with the same programs opened Rev1 had 20%, wow!

Good Job!

I don't see a big difference, I even have the feeling that's a bit slower. Would it be a difference if I use GUID? Would it still be possible to use Dual-Boot with the Windows boot selector?

Did you try XBench or another bench to see if it's really slower ?

Please read my comments about the touchpad kext here: http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=17&page=3#Item_36

I don't know if this kext is compatible with the normal one but I guess it's worth to find out.

zeph, actually the computer is now also much more Quiet!

When I had lots of applications opened on Rev1, then it would become slower and the performance would decrease.

Now there aren't any loud or busy sounding sounds =D

edit: I currently have 15 Applications opened, Installing an Adobe Suite, and I'm adding about 1000 songs to iTunes and browse the Web using Safari with many tabs open, and it's quite and everything runs like with zero apps opened :>

@ zephyroth:

I tried Xbench and the CPU seems to be slower. On RC1 I got over 86 sometimes, on RC2 it was mostly 79-82, maximum was 85. But overall it seems to be a better, about 106 compared to 105. But I have kinda feeling it's slower. I'm now restructuring my HD with GUID partition table.
