OS X 10.4.7 clients extremly slow after installation (imaged)

[stepansae]

Hi,

I have deployed 10.4.7 images to our lab computers and some older G5 iMacs & Dual G5 Power Macs are very laggy in response to user actions.

Whenever you swap between the appliacations, beach ball apears for at least 15 sec. Also, first access to the menu is also extremly slow. This affects both local and roaming accounts. It is so bad that the G3 300 with same OS X will beat the G5 in performance.

Tried reseting NVRAM & PRAM, priviliges repair, but no success. The master image was created on the latest G5 iMac we have (last prior to Intel based).

Any ideas please? Many thanks

So let me reply to myself 🙂 …

Rebuilding the directory stucture using TechTools Pro (same process using other similar SWs destroyed everything:-) sorted out the issue on 2/3 of our computers …

If you have any idea regarding the cause (maye because I have broadcasted the images? (those need to be differently prepared than the usual images)) please let me know. Thanks …
