    I do get some "beachballing" sometimes... kind of random, but it happens.

    I'll reinstall Leopard once the school term is over...

    Leopard is definitely still buggy.

    Safari crashes all the time.

    Sleep/wake up issues.

    Power saver just ignores settings.

    Wake up sometimes leaves me with a laggy mouse needing a reboot.

    Kernal panics from the Airport driver when torrenting.

    Etc. etc...

    Honestly as much as I love it i've had WAY more problems than with any windows box i've used.

    Are you using Azureus? If so that is the problem, and it happened with Tiger a lot too. I would avoid Azureus and use Transmission.

    I have had problems with Finder. It seems to have a hard time with my AirPort Disk and then it will stop ejecting things. Finder overall is an even bigger mess than it was on Tiger.

    To fix the sleep issues, remove iStat Pro if you have it. It's not a Leopard problem, but an iStat problem.

    Other than the sleep issues caused by iStat the only thing I've had happen was Firefox crashed only twice (which isn't a problem since you can just restore session) and MSN crashes once in a while, which is just because MSN mac is crap.
