Something is deeply broken in OS X memory management

I upgraded to an SSD while on Leopard, and was amazed at the speed. Snow Leopard continued to impress. Lion slowed things down terribly (even with the SSD!), but I have good news: ever since Mountain Lion DP2, it's been fast again.

Yes, I am a fan of ML so far too.

Given that Apple has fixed none of my reported bugs in 10.7, but I can't reproduce many of them in 10.8, I wonder if it even makes sense to analyze 10.7 anymore - seems it's a done deal for Apple.

This is very good news indeed. I'm okay that they don't backport bugfixes as long as ML comes out in a reasonable timeframe.

ML will be a paid upgrade right? So people who paid for Lion are worth nothing?

I've been trying to get people I know at Apple to start referring to it internally as Mountain Goat.

It's working.

Are you implying that Mountain Lion is slow?
