[CS-FSLUG] Macs and Memory

[Timothy Butler]

Hmm... I'm not really sure, although wx can use GTK. I just thought  
it looked somewhat like a flaky Aqua theme applied to a GTK app.

At any rate, while OS X runs X11 apps, the problem may lie more in OS  
X's X11 server, Audacity or whatever widget it is using rather than  
your computer. I never use Audacity, as you might guess.

Try something for me, would you? Run Cinebench.

Let me know what kind of scores you get. I'll run it again on my PM  
G5, my Mac mini and my Powerbook. We can compare scores. It'll help  
me to tell you if your system is running slower than mine and how  
much improvement you can expect.

Also: if you can, try to find an Apple store or dealer. Apple demo  
machines are usually unrestricted in what you can do with them (for  
the most part), so you can take in a flash drive with a program that  
gives you trouble, and if it doesn't require an installation  
application w/ admin privileges, you can test it on a faster machine...
