I just set my mother up with OSX.  She is running a
dual G4 1.25, a gig of ram and all 320 SCSI hardware,
no ide drives except the DVD-R.  She says it is not
nearly as responsive as she expected.  You have to wait
a few seconds just to open up basic text files and
such.  Aside from the exception of installing it on her
new machine this weekend, I have never used OSX before.
 Are there any tips for optimizing the speed that i may
have missed?  Are there ways of turning off some of
that BS eye candy?  Are there a million services
running with a basic OSX install?  Any tips we could
get to speed this thing up would be greatly
appreciated.
