It sure isn't faster in switching windows on the IIcx I use at work. It drags after 6.0.7. It _is_ neat in that I hardly ever have to use the mouse. It has keyboard methods for running icons, opening window, etc., etc., as well as help 'baloons' for green green beginners. I'll be working with it as soon as my critical application programs are upgraded (the main pain in swithching to 7 for cuent users of the mac), slower or not, I like it better. On Plus type machines, what the GCR emulates, it is so slow I don't think anyone would want to use it.
