DERRRR!!!!
Why are people so surprised to see a speed improvement whenever someone suggests turning off a "graphical" feature?!? OSX calculates and draws all the fancy graphics pixel by pixel ITSELF, so the CPU is the one doing all the work - no joke turning off shading, font smoothing, etc is going to result in a speed increase.
DERRRR!!!!
Quartz Extreme isn't a GUI cure-all. It only accelerates certain effects, like alpha-channel drawing and minimizing. The speed difference between Jaguar and previous versions is nowhere near as dramatic as it should be if its fully-blown hardware accelerated.
DERRRR!!!!
There is certainly a lot of confusion about what Quartz Extreme will do. It will have no effect at all on font smoothing, for instance. From Apple's site:
DERRRR!!!!
QE does not let the hardware do all the computations. Only image compositing is offloaded to the GPU, everything else (notably font rendering and antialiasing) is still done with the CPU. See http://www.opengl.org/developers/code/features/siggraph2002_bof/sg2002bof_apple.pdf. |
