Beamsync pitfall


just out of curiousity, thought i'd try disabling beamsync on latest acquisition, 1.5ghz 12" powerbook.
i'd tried before on either quad or dual g5 no noticeable difference, using let 1k windows bloom benchmark reference.
on powerbook, using same benchmark tool, score had gone 11 seconds 16 seconds once beamsync disabled, oh thought, i'll re-enable , normal again.
not so, benchmark still @ 16 seconds after rebooting.
solution remove windowserver.plist file had presumably been created terminal beamsync adjustment - , it's 11 seconds (the plist contained no data apart beamsync flag made).

on tiger, wanted see how effected 17" dlsd on leopard. similar story, 13 seconds without adjustment, 18 seconds with.
realise based on 1 crude benchmark i've never felt improvement in other respect when tinkering beamsync settings - maybe best left alone useless using crt?
 

i discovered not long ago.

enabled hidden "accelerating" graphical settings, after while thought boot taking long. disabled everything, boot took less time. , so, think tricks g5's... , perhaps intels, of course. speaking of, know if quartzgl or quartz2dextreme enabled on snow leopard? cool if are.

how 12" powerbook? not having brilliant time mine, feet (even display's) off, f11 key wedged between "-" , "=" keys, , when it's in leopard, heats easily. can tape replacement rubber feet respective positions, , must admit computer cooler it. tiger best os it, tff.

swear that's last time i'm mentioning flaws, though none of them fault.
