First impression slooooo
Maybe it is me but I have two machines both within a year old, both core 2 duo. on my macbook pro I did a clean install. On my imac I did a archeive and install.
It seems to me that OSX leopard is slower than tiger. I seem to be getting the spinning ball a lot. Anyone else have this issue???
Also Time machine for me does not work.

That's weird, I haven't gotten the spinning ball once, apps seem to open faster for me. Although I have a Mac Pro.

Something is definitely wrong. Almost everything I'm reading reports about state Leopard is actually snappier. I haven't heard many reports about spinning beach balls in Leopard.

You need an external drive for Time Machine.
And Leopard should be quicker. Mine is.

I have an external drive for time machine and it got though a few hours and the failed.
In terms of the IMAC. it is my wifes machine and normally she does not notice anything and she thought it was slow.
I am almost tempted to start all over
It is very strange.

One thing that will cause ball to show is if you are running time machine and have some type of VM OS like VMFusion because every time you make a change in your VM let's call it a WINDOWS VM it causes a change in the size of the virtual HD file stored on your apple file system that can be anywhere from 10gig and up. This makes time machine try and backup all that data every time a change is made.
Case in point I start windows up and download a work emails in outlook. What has happened is my virtual HD file size has changed so now time machine wants to backup my 42gig window virtual drive.
So I would recommend setting the time machine options to skip those files/folders or your system will run slow everything you use your VM OS like Windows or Linix

Indeed.
Leopard is much snappier*
*On a MacBook Pro 2.16 with 1gb of ram.
Leopard is also much snappier here. Perhaps Spotlight is reindexing.
My MacBook ran flat out for about 2 hours reindexing spotlight, space transitiosn were disturbingly jumpy - after it finished its been running well and spaces is flawlessly quick.
Hmurch: Give it a while. Maybe Spotlight is re-indexing everything. Try a reboot as well. Mine was slow at first, but after a while was hella fast.
How many reboots have you done? Give it 3 and if it's still hella slow, then you have a problem. The first boot will obviously slow for reasons already noted (indexing etc).
You're hella semi-retarded.
1337 has made some valid points. Initially spotlight indexing will take some time, but after that it *is*very fast... Just enter a few letters and Boom! results all there...
On topic, Leopard is really quite fast and snappy.
I have almost never seen the beachball except with FolderShare (Rosetta).
Benalexe, something is wrong with your hard disk, RAM, or motherboard...
Over all it's much faster, especially spotlight. I can search something like .jpg and hit 1000+ results without a hitch.
I might actually use smart folders now.
Everything is very fast, the VRAM especially is better, no more massive hit to the HDD-beach balling.
Spaces is fast becoming useful, though not any serious crazy system changing life style, it's still a champ in places that count.
The other slow down is the one mentioned in various places like macfixit, etc. AFP. If you got a PPC networked and one drops from the AFP, you got some massive hiccup. So if you're using AFP, try to disconnect.
Now it could be just indexing but I have a macbook pro 2.16 core 2 duo with 2 gig ram so it should not be slow.
The only thing I can think of is I did run disk warrior and maybe that did something.
I thin kI may end up doing a clean install again. Hopefully wipe everything out.
