"Optimizing System Performance"?
After using Panther for about a week now, I've run across a few installation routines (namely the Apple stuff like iMovie and the 10.3.3 Update) which have a segment of the install labelled "Optimizing System Performance" that seems to take a very long time. Having not been a Mac user before all this (my friend is loaning me his Panther disks), I'm not familiar with what exactly this is doing or why. Could anyone enlighten me?
I beleive its like a defrag. I ran into this today too. It took longer to "optimize" then it did to install the update. I installed 10.3.3, the 5/04 security update and the 5/24 security update. All three of them did the "optimizing system permormance" and it took forever. There wasn't very much disk activity on my host system though.
