Paul,
have you ckecked that spotlight isn't indexing your harddrive all the
time?
Turn off Journaling with DiskUtility for the drive, although this raises
the risk of loosing files if the machine crashes. BTW, OSX is more
sensitive to timing issues of the memory than OS9 was. So maybe
a faulthy Ram stick is the reason for your crashes.
My girlfriend works on a G4/433 (mainly still under OS9, yes Quark 4),
and working under 10.3 (Jaguar) does not do such a big difference.
You just have to accept, this is an old machine, and working in
Photoshop with 100Meg files isn't fun in PS6 under OS9 either.

I am wondering if this should work fine and if I am the only one to
experience slow down and unexpected freezes.
My G4 is a dual 500 MHz and it has 1,5GB of RAM, lots of disk space,
but it seems inappropriate to run the programs. Working on large
Photoshop files is almost impossible, especially if I have another
program, say Golive, opened at the same time. Maybe my problem is not
due to the software installed but to some other reason. I have
sometimes Classic launched in the background. Have you had good yields
with such equipment? Thanks for the feedback!
