I just upgraded a couple of Macs from OS X 1.3 to 1.4 (1.4.1 just came out 
BTW). The G5 machine definitely boots faster with 1.4 than 1.3. The 800 MHz 
640 MB G3 iBook is now so friggin' slow that I lose interest before it gets 
started. 10.3 wasn't fast on the G3, but at least it was usable. I'm blowing 
10.4 aware and going back to 10.3 on that machine.
