ok, another side note......visual fx seem much, much, much more stable in leopard as compared to snow leopard
I would indeed agree that the VFX seem to cause bad behavior in Snow Leopard for me.
late 2008 8core 2.8ghz
ocz ssd
8800gt
write cycle wear is between 100,000 and millions of writes- and then the discs have redundant sections which they shift to
well outside this- on any short term application usage...
maybe if you read and write thousands of system files or use virtual memory - but not playing back movies or organising files...
sata hard discs are on a level with this level of failure - and much more catastrophic-
ssd's are totally different beasts from normal discs-
strategies for their use are completely different- there is no 20% rule- or any sata hard disc rule applicable.

xserve raids were a total pain in the ass- and so is the xsan software - administering them was a nightmare - and they never worked well enough to anywhere justify the cost - and they needed an extra machine to administer the thing. and you needed an IT person to set them up ....
performance across multiple machines was not good enough- and overall performance on entire device was only able to do 150MB/s- about 1 or 2 internal ssds bandwidth-
---
the time it takes to write files on multiple machines with the same content is not related to SSD - thats a file copying problem- it doesnt get faster with sata discs-
Noone has reported any verified snow leopard crashes .... for m257
thanks
is there something different in 257 that would make it more stable in snow leopard? 167 is definitely not as stable in snow leopard for me.
interesting.. I have the same problem on multiple machines.. changing fx causes crashes.. everything else seems perfectly fine
will do when I get a chance... have started running 257 but have not put it through the same test yet. All my machines are out working right now.
thanks let me know.
please send me pdf profiles if you see any crashes.
you can set the number of layers and mixes in the preferences in m257-

the only possible crashes i remember in any visual fx in in m167 - relate to bugs when sound input was turned off - and some cropping fx not having enough layers defined in their implementation- these were fixed a long time ago - nothing to do with leopard/snow leopard
m167 is almost 2 years old- and i send software out for people almost daily...
Ya I caught that new feature.. very nice... as far as the crashing I am referring too.. it was occurring when switching fx... I actually got both snow leopard and loepard to do it but it took a very long time to happen in leopard whereas in snow leopard it happened sometimes within just a few changes. This happened when changing fx from the library window.. perhaps this is the cause? at any rate I will test 257 when I can. Thanks for your support of a great product.. now if only apple would support multiple video cards in a way that was conducive to what we are doin :)
