OS3.9 itself is not a single tick slower than OS3.1.


On my Amiga, 3.9 was MUCH slower than 3.1. The 3.9 picture.datatype takes about 3x longer to display the WB background picture (even on lowest settings) and stupidly tries to remap and dither pictures that are already mapped. The new prefs using Reaction are much slower than the 3.1 prefs and the icon editor is unbelievably slow (although who would use that piece of crap when there's Iconian). I eventually trashed 3.9 and went back to 3.1. The only useful thing I got out of 3.9 was the 43.3 scsi.device for harddrives >4Gb. I extracted it and now use it with 3.1 when I want to access >4Gb.

Why try to make 3.1 look like 3.9? Make it look BETTER than 3.9. ;-)

I don't have an A1200. I've got an A500 like the name says. It has a 33Mhz 020.

If you don't have a graphics card, I would suggest that you don't buy 3.9. I wish I never bought 3.9. I was very VERY disappointed.

Oh, and there is very little good software that requires the Reaction GUI from 3.5/3.9.
