Of course, that feeling wears off eventually. It's still nowhere near as fast as outline resizing (in Mac OS 9 or X), but the performance in 10.0.x was so bad that anything close to acceptable performance feels super-fast in 10.1. I was overjoyed when I saw how responsive it was, even on the G3/400. Resizing a list view Finder window was one of the first things I tried in 10.1. List view windows, in particular, were so unresponsive as to be nearly useless. The worst window resize performance in 10.0.x was provided by none other than the Finder itself. It boggles my mind that something as mundane as window resizing was allowed to ship in 10.0 in such a horrendous state that it garnered special mention in every significant review of the OS X-including Apple's! Since the release of 10.0, almost every Apple presentation that has mentioned Mac OS X has talked about the need for performance improvements, and has specifically mentioned window resizing as a bullet point, right alongside better hardware support and the need for native applications.
