Lagging TiBook?
I'm currently using a 1 ghz tiBook with 512 RAM OS 10.2.8
and for many tasks it LAAAAAAGGGGS
I've repaired the disk permissions a couple times in the past month.
I think it might be due to excessive fragmentation of the HD, since he has been transferring many GBs of files from his old computer, But I don't know.
The most consistent lag time comes from the volume control, it seriously takes about 45 seconds at least to do anything!
I might be able to upgrade to panther soon, I'm hoping that will fix everything, but until then, anything I can do?

I have the same TiBook with 1GB of RAM (10.2.8) and see no lag or major slowdowns. I do graphic/web design, motion graphics and video editing without any hitches. I still get the beachball from time to time, or see the occasional slowdown when doing strenuous stuff, but otherwise I am really happy with the performance.
Of course I would get the powerbook G5 in a flash...but so would anyone else
all in all, it is noticeably less laggy than it was, so all is well.
(at least for now
