Snappy.

My aluminum iMac is 12% snappier while my G5 1.8 is 14% snappier after the security and Java updates!!

I know that there are those who may consider any direct reference to a sense of accelerated overall performance in the functions of one's computer/s after a performance enhancing event such as a security update as being cynical or even sarcastic BUT...

And what a big BUT it was!

My confusers are so much snapper, they are leaving skid marks on the desk.

:p

I'll wait 24-48 hours as always. It's good to see if this update inadvertently hoses anything. So go forth and be snappy. But I'd rather wait a day to make sure nothing's been overlooked.

The only bad thing about waiting, is the snappiness may be lost with time.

As always, repair disk permissions before updating.

Feb 12, 09 - 09:32 pm Comment from: @silverhawk

As always... B#11&h1T;!

"As always, repair disk permissions before updating."

Apple should get a new FS for gods sake.

Feb 13, 09 - 12:19 am Comment from: Renderdog

No need to repair permissions before software updates, only if you're experiencing problems. (Google it)

Feb 13, 09 - 09:04 am Comment from: Chris

Repairing permissions is unnecessary, as the others said.
