An anonymous reader writes "The editor at the Linux-focused Phoronix decided to provide many Mac OS X 10.6 benchmarks today that looked at all different aspects of the operating system from synthetic memory tests to ray-tracing performance and gaming on two different Macs. He spotted a few serious performance regressions but found many incredible jumps in performance... Upwards of 50% in some circumstances. Michael Larabel concludes, "We are not Mac junkies at Phoronix. Ummm, hell, we are just performance-enthused Linux fanatics with a love for benchmarking. However, the fact of the matter is, if you are a Mac OS X user and are at all concerned about the performance of your system — whether that means being a benchmarking junkie like us or just looking to squeeze the most potential out of your system whether it be for audio encoding, ray-tracing, image editing, or other computational tasks — Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is a must buy.""
