No, the computer itself isn’t slow but many aspects of the user interface are, and after the initial euphoria of the new Mac it’s beginning to annoy me a lot. Where Windows dialogs snap onto the screen many Mac windows and dialogs appear to pause for a moment before responding to your request, as though they’re considering whether they really want to do it or not. The whole user interface just has a slightly “slow” and unresponsive feel to it compared to XP. On my old G4 Power Mac I simply assumed this was the slow processor but this doesn’t seem to be the cause. At least, I don’t think the Mac Pro with its four processor cores running at 2.66GHz can be accused of being underpowered here…
