I consistently still use my PowerMac G5, Quad-Core, 16GB RAM with 2 SSD’s for audio production as even next to my 2018 15” MacBook Pro it seems...snappier?<p>It certainly cold boots faster (almost instantly as soon as there is display output), and 10.5 feels as rock solid as ever.<p>I could even deal with that computer offline, and sometimes do as it doesn’t have a wifi (never bothered), which alleviates security concerns; too. (As does the PPC platform itself, somewhat.)<p>I’m not sure when the bloat became so severe that it started impeding performance in a serious way, but it seems to be late 90’s to early 00’s to me, with it peaking like hell in the early-to-mid 00’s - everyone remember all those Internet Explorer ‘Toolbar’ malware addons? XD<p>I’d go to my friend’s computer and they’d have like so many of them it covered a significant portion of the screen but it never seemed to occur to them to disable them, even if they knew how.
