What about the Desktop file?  Has the Resource Manager version used in
releases up to System Tools 5.0 been replaced by a faster version?

I understand this is done in the AppleShare(?) software, and that this
Desktop INIT? CDEV? can be successfully used in System Tools 5.0.  Does
Apple officially support this usage, and are there any other benefits or
drawbacks besides performance?  Does it affect programs such as Disk First
Aid, Disk Express, etc., in any way?

With the standard 5.0 version, adding a new icon, etc., to a hard disk can
be VERY slow!
