I have been running OS X as my primary OS since it was Rhapsody DR2 (1997 I think?). I love having a unix with a truly usable windowing system. XWindows just rubs me the wrong way. Anyway, the GUI was always reasonably fast up until beta when it slowed a lot. 10.1 was a big improvement though. I would bet that with another release or two it will be as fast os OS 9.
