[GRASS-user] re: Mac OSX- How slow can you go?

I am running OSX.5.6 on an intel Mac using two (2) duo-core processors and a bunch of memory. I have set up GRASS 6.3 and it seems to be especially sluggish; i.e., literally all night to import a vector shapefile, albeit a substantial one. In addition, many modules (commands) will execute and then force an exit from the application, requiring a re-launch. Curiously, the tasks themselves are often completed.

The “brand” is OpenOX Grass, an “it requires no additional dependencies” package.

Anyone else running into the same problem?
