[OS X TeX] New Mac

[Claus Gerhardt]

Using a G5 at 2.5GHz (2CPUs) and typesetting a 400 pages book with 2  
graphics I got

4 sec (external pdlatexc script)
6 sec (hitting the typeset button in TS, no console), same when  
running pdflatexc as a macro)

Notice that the time was measured manually between pushing a button  
till refreshing of pdf.
