MacOS-X and full blown cocoa do not run on 132 Mhz systems.
And I can assure that Cocoa on a 466MHz G3 with a OpenGL capable videocard
like my iBook, several of these geeky features are damn heavy. Live window
resizing and split views are among them. Other things perform very speedy
and fast - no doubt.
