“One of the biggest features of Snow Leopard isn’t something apparent to the naked eye: software tweaks and refinements intended to make OS X a leaner, meaner OS for your fighting Apple machine. But is Snow Leopard really any faster? Now that I’ve successfully upgraded two Macs to Snow Leopard I’ve got some benchmarking results to share,” Chris Rawson reports for TUAW.
“While the performance gains aren’t huge, they do seem to reflect the optimizations present in Snow Leopard,” Rawson reports. “And this is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Snow Leopard’s potential. Once developers start taking advantage of new technologies like Grand Central and OpenCL, applications in OS X will be screamingly fast.”
