" Hi Mike I received my 2.4GHz 15" MacBook Pro on Tuesday and haven't really had time to do a lot of testing (yet), but i managed to do a standard cfg timedemo of Quake3 before and after the Update 1.0 from Apple. Also I have had time to play around with Quake4 a bit and here are my observations:

Quake 3 timedemo four with a freshly generated cfg (all default, no smp enabled) went up from 309 fps before the update to 381 fps after the update! That's a rather significant performance boost.

Quake 4 meanwhile performed well before the update, even at 1440x900 resolution with everything enabled except AA. However there used to be slight hickups or lags between different scenes, especially notable in the singleplayer intro, where the machine would sometimes hickup for a second or so between scene changes. I first thought it might be due to the harddrive loading new data and that I'd just have to live with it. (on new systems/installs Spotlight may still be indexing the drive, which also takes a hit on performance.-Mike)
After the Update 1.0, these hickups are entirely gone. Without having timedemo data, subjectively the game performs noticeably faster now too.

Could be interesting to test if Unreal Tournament 2004 now performs faster as well, since some people found it performed worse on the new MBP than on the old one.
All the best, Bensch "
