Thanks for the heads up, Larry. I’ve had some stalls on my 17″ MBP which were confounding me, and hopefully this will clear them up.

I wonder if “performance update” is a euphemism for “won’t delete your data on a whim”

I just installed SL last night (I had to do a total reformat because my MBP had been updated MANY tines and was still on a pre-GUID partition scheme). LOL. I can’t wait to see what this update does now. SL is nice, overall, though!
