I've got Mac OS 9.2.2 running on a G4 Mini at 1920x1080 with Ethernet and it's generally good. I'm surprised by how much older software from 6-8 runs fine on it, far more than I remember before I switched to OS X.
However, there's still quite a few freezes and "pauses" while the system seems to get hung up on a particular task. When I was using OS 9 as my primary system with Photoshop, GoLive, Illustrator, and other productivity software I remember having similar issues several times a day and I was very happy with OS X's improvements on that front.
However (and this could be my memory glitching), I seem to be encountering this more frequently now than I remember experiencing back in the day. And networking, that's far less reliable than I remember.
Is this typical with OS 9? Or is this related to the configuration I'm using? Would running at a lower resolution resolve some of these issues? Is there anything else I can do to reduce the OS 9 issues?
