Darwin-kernel mailing list (Darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-kernel/site_archiver%40lists.a... where can the newest code of darwin for ppc be found? Either on Apple's Darwin Developer site (<http:// developer.apple.com>) or on the Open Darwin site (<http:// www.opendarwin.org>). does a website exist? or do all coders only send the sourcecode back to apple? and apple will then release newer versions? i'm asking because i'm not satisfied with the speed of osx...i think it's the mach kernel which is quite slow...do newer, i.e faster versions optimized for example for the g5 exist? Well, look at it this way: Apple ships one version of Mac OS X that works on all systems (well, currently, per CPU architecture). The Darwin source represents a small chunk of the system, measured by lines of code or by bytes used on-disk. Even if you shrunk the the Mach kernel to size zero and decreased the kernel cycles needed to execute whatever is asked of it to zero, this would probably account for a 5-10% speedup[*].
