OS 10.4.3

Apple released a major OS update a couple days ago. At first my computer seemed unusually snappy and responsive. Right now, however, I’m sitting through my second 20+ minute Finder beach ball (pinwheel, spinning pizza, etc) attack. Last time only RealPlayer survived. It happily continued to feed me NPR while the rest of my computer only let me move windows around. This time, only Safari seems to have survived.
Also, Safari has crashed 3 times on me since the upgrade. Two of those times it was in the background, or otherwise not being used.
I just thought I’d post in case anyone waiting on installing the upgrade, or would like to share similar problems.

Interesting. I installed that update last night, and I haven’t had any problems with it at all, so far.
I’ll let you know if I experience any similar problems, though. What model is your machine?
