October 3rd, 2006 -- Some Applications Go Faster Under The Latest OS  
X Build. We tested some key apps just before and right after the  
10.4.7 to 10.4.8 upgrade. Here's some interesting gains we saw:
DOOM 3: Low resolutions (640x480 High) ran 26% faster. We saw a 13%  
gains with 1024x768 Medium (no Shadows). Reason? Multi-threaded  
OpenGL is supported by Doom 3 in combination with the newest Tiger  
release. Doom 3 is currently the only app we know that takes  
advantage of this but don't be surprised to see patches for other  
OpenGL apps to appear shortly.
PHOTOSHOP CS2: Our MP2 action file ran 11% faster. We assume there  
are some improvements to Rosetta.
