Even with the improvements available in this update, Apple recommends you update the firmware on your FireWire drive. Please contact your drive manufacturer for more information.

any improvements? I havn't had a chance to use it, because my idiot roommate is well... he has a girl in his my room.. which is a huge surprise, because he always comes off as really gay (as in not straight) and quite dumb.. but after a short convo with this girl its understandable. Oh, well I suppose that belongs in the pit

So far what Ive seen is it took like 2 min before OSX actually restarted itself redy for use after I installed it.
