I’m certain this has been asked before and the solution is so simple that I seem silly for bringing it up. I’ve searched and searched but it’s very difficult to hash this precise circumstance so I haven’t found anything conclusive.
I’ll make an example of a particular application. There is a Ford Thunderbird Showcase app that was intended for the original Macintosh. If I run this on my Quadra, it handles at the 25mhz seemingly normally. If, however, I open the app in OS 9 on a 1.25Ghz G4, it runs like it’s heading for the moon! The G4 is easily 100x faster than a classic Mac, and I’d say the interface is running at about that pace.
If the Quadra in OS 8 can handle this app, running at least 3x as fast as the original Macintosh, how could I reel in the same application while using my G4?
I wouldn’t be interested in Sheep Shaver etc, just wondering if there’s a switch that can be flipped or something to tell it to slow the hell down.
