I'm not complaining about the speed of the current OS X but I do need more RAM (stuck with the 256 my 933 G4 came with ). There are, however, people who complain about it on these boards. Did they mention anything about a speed boost @ WWDC?

The aforementioned Quartz Extreme, which will offload Quartz compositing to your video card - the whole interface will be rendered in OpenGL!
There is also a roughly 20% all-around speed boost predicted, and a new, faster, multithreaded Finder with built-in searching.
Closer to release, 10.1.5 is rumored to speed up WebDAV (iDisk) and other networking.
Jaguar lands at the end of summer. 10.1.5 lands sometime before then. In the meantime, if you plunk another 256MB or more into that tower, you can roll your own speed boost.
NO, actually conservative estimates at this time suggest that Jaguar will actually slow OS X to a COMPLETE crawl, an improvement over the I-am-dragging-my-crippled-ass-across-RAM crawl we are all accustomed to.

My speed boosts amounted to more modest gains of ~5% with gcc 3.1. not that I've been playing with gcc 3.1 for a few months now...</strong><hr></blockquote>
I'm not expecting that number to come from gcc alone.
btw, I've been seeing this magical "20%" faster a bit here and there... is this just wishful thinking or what? Where do we get these sort of numbers from?
Even WITHOUT quartz extreme, quartz is a LOT LOT faster.
With it, well, I haven't seen that
So if your in the same unsupported boat as me, don't worry! Jaguar will still be a LOT LOT faster. Many on unsupported quartz extreme machines say it is 90% of OS9 speed. I'd say that would be.... dead on. X currently feels about 50% in 10.1
Jaguar is a lot faster, even if you can't use Quartz Extreme. I only have a Rage 128, so I can't test QE, but the whole damn thing feels a lot faster, much more solid and polished. From my use of it over the past couple of days, it's really getting to the point where you shouldn't be able to complain about speed anymore.
