so you cant turn the dashboard widgets off!Originally Posted by samsc
Oh my god.
even when dashboard isnt visible. its still running.
I left my poor laptop on for a while, and the memory usage grew to terrible proportions.
7.9GB of virtual memory for a handful of small apps.
The flight tracker widget is using 38.8MB real memory, and 236 MB virtual memory....

but tiger has some pretty neat stuff as well.
atto just released scsi drivers.
apple has fixed a whole bunch of bugs.
we will have to see whether 10.4.2 fixes outstanding opengl issues.
Developer
reports are slowly coming in that some of the opengl bugs are being fixed- in ati drivers.
atto has updated their scsi drivers. not tested yet.
i filed a bug with apple against no ability to disable spotlight.
Developer
turn on my new g5 - and its going to spend the next 12 Hours indexing my hard drive!
Not very useful.
Developer
10.4.2 is a lot better.
still opengl performance is down from 10.3.x
and spotlight and dashboard are terrible resource hogs.
Developer
found a hint to make dashboard go away:

This has not been tested by me.Make Dashboard go away
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
Make Dashboard come back
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
You have to restart the Dock to have this take effect
Developer
more tiger bugs.
I unplugged my second monitor, and rebooted, and it still thinks the monitor is there!
not very good.
also automatic detection of dvi plugging seems missing.
it didnt detect when i changed the monitor on the same port.
Developer
what seems to have happened is that my black magic decklink HD desktop output got turned on when i installed decklink 5.0

Richard,
How is the new tiger update performing with catalyst?
regards,
Jan Opseth
Developer
it performs almost the same as panther +- 5%
10.4.3 is the first version that fixed some bugs that needed fixing...
