Its about as customizable as your grandmothers sofa, the one with the plastic covering you're not allowed to sit on. Sure, maybe Windows XP might be slow on an equivalently powered PC, but you know what? I can turn off all the UI crap that comes with XP.
#WHY DOES MY OS X VM RUN SO SLOW CODE#
I have a ~500Mhz G4 and thats more than enough power to make sure that simple tasks like moving files around and editing source code should never EVER have a perceptible delay. I don't care that its shiny and round and scales perfectly. The seoncd part is that the finder is just damn slow. I'm not incapable of learning new shortcut commands, I just need to be able to find out what they are without installing 4 third party applications that add them. The tab between controls functionality windows has seems to be largely missing. I know there are probably keys there I don't know about, but they certainly aren't readily apparent in the help files. If my hands are on the keyboard and I need to do some UI navigation I don't want to have to use the mouse. When I started working on the mac I was frustrated by the amount of mouse effort I had to expend. I've learned just about all the shortcut keys and my hands move to wherever is fastest to accomplish a given task, mouse or keyboard.

I'm pretty fast in Windows explorer, I have to be navigating between hundreds of source files. But OS X's Finder, its front door as it were to someone like me, has some serious lacks. Codewarrior on OS X beats the pants off Visual Studio on Windows in just about every category.

Plus I'm not railing on the hardware architecture or the OS core.

A (mostly) user friendly operating system backended to a unix system, with all the unix tools and features I love.

I'm no fan of Microsoft's practices or the stability or security of their code. You have to understand where I'm coming from. The problem seems to be twofold, poor UI, and poor implementation. I haven't had enough experience with 10.2 yet to make a call. The Finder interface in 10.0 and 10.1 is unbearably slow. I've also done a signifigant amount of work on *nixes.
#WHY DOES MY OS X VM RUN SO SLOW SOFTWARE#
I'm a professional software developer that had to port a large body of code from Windows to Mac. The asker is probably not as interested in a detailed technical minutae as the user experience. I love this technical discussion of why the Mac is considered to be slow but actually isn't. Apple's site includes server stats and they are very impressive too.īut the implementation details aren't widely understood so a lot of people's initial reaction is "Oh that's gotta be slow" - it really isn't. Quartz has lots of tricks to make it fast, and now all current Macs can make use of Quartz Extreem (uses the compositor on the GPU to dramatically speed up the whole windowing system). The Kits make heavy use of these tricks so they are pretty fast. The use of allocation zones can also speed up the VM system a great deal (these aren't as troublesome as IMPs can be, but again aren't as often needed as you might think).

They added a method lookup cache which speeds things up a great deal, and IMPs that can be used in tight loops to gain extra zip (healh warning, IMPs are not ususally needed and can cause stunning bugs if you're not careful with them - unless you have a large tight loop that REALLY needs speeding up - don't bother with IMPs). Well sure if you just implemented Objective-C without optimisations then it would be slow, but NeXT (them that did the Objective-C implementation) didn't do that.

Macs are based on Objective-C - that's REALLY slow. Macs have blistering real math performance (the G3 iBook doesn't have the AltiVec). And then there's the amazing AltiVec (which Apple call the "Velocity Engine", if you see these terms they refer to the same thing). The Mac is only 800MHz(ish) for low end machines so it must be slow? This is the classic "MHz Myth" the G4 has a short pipeline (a good thing) and executes over 90% of it's instructions in 1 cycle or less (the modern definition of RISC, TRIVIA: the old definition was implements less the 100 instructions). So the Kernel isn't actually slow, it compares well with other BSDs and Linux.
#WHY DOES MY OS X VM RUN SO SLOW MAC OS X#
Mac OS X is based on a Microkernel - now everyone agrees these are slow, right? Well, sure I can see where that's coming from - but Apple have gone to great lengths to make this as fast as possible without losing the benefits. Mac OS X isn't actually slow but has a lot of technologies that have got a bad rap (though they didn't always deserve them).
