What you are experiencing is, I think, due to the small size of
memory. I think (although I've not been motivated to track this down)
that there is more paging going on now, possibly because apps and
frameworks are bigger.
However, I have to say, once an app is up front and in control, my
overworked Pismo feels way snappier than earlier versions of Mac OS X.
As confirmation of the RAM theory, I offer the fact that my PowerBook
G4 (with 1.5GB RAM) feels faster just about everywhere under 10.4 than
10.3, not just when one app is in front and stays there.
I have not yet observed 10.4 to do any paging on this machine. 10.3
would page things out occasionally, even though it didn't really need
to with this much RAM. Probably 10.4's VM system is better at
reclaiming buffer cache pages when under memory pressure, or something
like that. (There, I've mentioned part of the Darwin kernel to help
keep this on topic. :)
