But why do you have virtual memory on?
I seem to recall something about virtual memory being beneficial to the performance of Mac OS 9 on PowerPC computers, even in situations where you have enough ram that your data never has to touch it. It had something to do with needing to pull entire large executable files off of the disk and put them in ram in order to run them, rather than being able to start the program quicker and only pull the parts of an application that you need from the disk.
The difference is night and day!!
When launching the apps or when running? I haven't run a PowerPC machine in a while so I don't even remember how I used to run.
