This month's MacAddict has a nice tip for turning the dashboard on and off in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). This is useful if you find things running slowly due to memory issues, like I did on my G3 iBook.
I didn't see this anywhere on the forums, so I'm putting it here now.
(Mods, I didn't know if this belongs here or in the OS forum-- move it if you see fit.)
Turning off Dashboard
----
Open a terminal window and enter this:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
and then enter:
killall Dock
Turning on Dashboard
----
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
and then enter:
killall Dock
