If you're a digg and Apple fans, you should now this site Marble of Doom. See how much time spent by your old Tiger on that Spinning Beachball of Death. In Leopard, you don't have to worry about that anymore. If someday you encounter that Spinning Beachball of Death, quickly change to another Space and force quit the Application that is not responding.
