So i am downloading the latest update to snow leopard, and I got to thinking- let's go nuts with safari windows and expose- so I started doing command-N and I made about 45 windows of the apple home page. Expose handled it with a brief stutter- but while downloading the 730 mb update.



Then, I set the homepage to youtube after searching for a video on snow leopard- a National Geographic video.



Then I figured out that 54 windows with the update downloading window looked neat in even rows. So I did all the windows and let the youtube videos start playing- in expose.



This was just cool. All the videos are playing, everything was going. Update was downloading. Macbook pro fans were howling! Santa rosa 2.2 with 4gb of ram.



I have three screenshots of it but I cant figure out how to post them- but it was sweet! So now I will go install the update.

    Post your machine specs. Any operating system can do multitasking given the hardware.

    Use a site like imageshack.us or tinypic.com, upload and then copy the URL and paste between img tags:



    Code:

    Is there any obvious use of OpenCL yet in the system? For example, the Quicktime X encoder for ipod etc, does it go significantly faster than standard Leopard Quicktime's encoder?

    I missed the spec with the superlatives around.



    I do use a Mac at home and at work (along with Linux & Windows). Does anyone have a comparison of how this stacks up with Leopard on the same hardware?

    This really has nothing to do with Snow Leopard. If you have good hardware, you can do the same in any OS. I was doing the same thing in Leopard a year ago.

    Sure, but could you do the same on the OP's hardware before SL?
