Existing users, 
I went back to TIGER after I saw what a mess 10.5 was-can anyone say whether it still takes an ice -age to repair permissions-?
In Tiger I can do it it 10+ seconds

Your issue was fixed in the last update. ACLs are now handled properly.Wednesday, May 28 2008 @ 11:16 AM PDT

On my PowerMac G5 single processor 1.8 GHz it took 19 minutes to repair permissions.Still a long way to go…

10.5.x will likely never be as fast as 10.4.x since 1.5.x has added Access Control List checking in addition to the other file/folder permission checks.Here is more info about ACLs: http://www.bresink.com/osx/193281/Docs-en/ACL.html

10.5 is much better than 10.4 in every way except for repairing permissions. People who repair permissions obsessively are missing out on a lot of refinement...Wednesday, May 28 2008 @ 01:23 PM PDT

Permission repairs under 10.5.3 are easily 4-5x faster than under 10.5.2Reply to This
