Catalyst v4.1 m165

I got lucky, bought a machine at the end of December. It came with Tiger and they gave me a Leopard upgrade disk. I asked why, they said "some people still like Tiger." I asked a support person I know at Apple, he said "I am getting tired of people whining about Leopard's performance." Apparently he's gotten nothing but complaints from power users since Leo's inception.

I created a Dual boot but I gotta tell ya, I am happy I still have Tiger install disks.

leopard has really poor performance on the machines i upgraded to test-

Update - This is mostly fixed by 10.5.2
lets put it like this- right now - my 8 core Intel in 10.5.1 is about the same as my dual g5 in 10.4.11 - in terms of layers of playback in catalyst.

I am running Leo right now with m165 on my 8-core. I have 8 layers running DV at 30fps no vfx and no cfx. With each layer in loopfw, I am dropping frames in at least 2 layers. When I sync all to layer 1, I am dropping frames in 4 layers.

Granted I am using a 1920x1200 monitor as primary and a TH2G (in dual mode) running 2 - 1280x1024. However, the exact same monitor config on Tiger works with up to 11 layer before frame drops. (Not to mention the 14 layers I can get running 2 DH2G or a single and1 TH2G outputting 4 - 1280x1024

Leo basically Sucks!

Anyone tried downgrading a preloaded Leopard machine to Tiger?
