I installed Jaguar with the option to save and restore my Users 
directory.  I had to reinstall all my 'personal' Unix stuff, including 
teTeX & Ghostscript.  I also went to the latest TeXShop version.

TeXShop's speed doesn't bother me, but I'm using an 800 MHz G4 
PowerBook.  I suspect it's not as fast as NeXT, but I don't know for 
sure...

Not for me.

there are some fixes to the PDF stuff in 10.2.1 that I'm very happy to 
have (including some PDF bugs that I reported to 
<http://bugreport.apple.com/>), so it was worth it for me.
