Re-enable Quartz Extreme on PCI-based 10.3.7 Macs
Authored by: hash on Dec 22, '04 02:01:09PM

There really is no performance benefit for enabling Quartz Extreme on PCI devices, so why would you want to enable this and risk not getting any future updates from CoreGraphics. This also means you do not get any bug fixes in CoreGraphics from 10.3.7.

Re-enable Quartz Extreme on PCI-based 10.3.7 Macs

There are performance reasons to use Quartz Extreme though.

it does reduce CPU load, and can make the GUI feel faster.
now on some machines I have seen the bugs that can happen, and didn't have time to diagnose why they occured on those specific machines, but on others it has worked fine, and is a nice boost in speed.
