Man, I love the features, but this thing feels 50 X slower than it did before. Real slow. Anyone else out there have the same expreience?
I think mine is slower!
 
Prior to this update, I found that it was really quick. I was completely happy with VPC prior to this. Now, my God, you cannot even use it. This sucks. I love the new features, but man, this is really friggin slow.!!!!

I have mixed results. On my iMac G4, it does indeed feel a lot slower, but on my dual 800 QuickSilver, it feels about the same to maybe a little slower. Not as bad as the original 5.0 release under X, but absolutely no great improvement. Perhaps we will have the back and forth upgrade path.. one that adds features, and a few months later one that makes it fast enough to use. Not a great plan in my opinion, but I suspect people will put up with it for now.. since there's no viable alternative any more.
 
Major Problem!! Every time I use VPC and say Command + Q to save the state it unexpectidly quits on me!!!! Then, when I restart I have to go through scandisk etc....

Same here. I just decided to remove the 5.0.3 fixes. yea, the features are neat, but not worth the speed loss.

Odd, I don't have that problem. Just saved the state, and quit. Loaded up again, no scandisk. Hmmm.
 
OK,
Here is the deal. This thing flies in 9, and I mean flies. XP is faster than any other Windoze OS under 9. These update look like they are geared towards 9 and 10.2. It is also much faster under Jaguar than it is under x.1.4.

Anyone else see the same?
