Syslogd Overwhelming Your Computer?
If your Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) system is unexpectedly sluggish, logging might be the culprit. Run Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities/ folder), and click the CPU column twice to get it to show most to least activity. If syslogd is at the top of the list, there's a fix. Syslogd tracks informational messages produced by software and writes them to the asl.db, a file in your Unix /var/log/ directory. It's a known problem that syslogd can run amok. There's a fix: deleting the asl.db file.
Launch Terminal (from the same Utilities folder), and enter these commands exactly as written, entering your administrative password when prompted:
sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
sudo rm /var/log/asl.db
sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd
Your system should settle down to normal. For more information, follow the link.

Not mentioned in the brief article is the massive number of negative comments created by this release. I do realize they didn't have a lot of time to come up with a new version, and they are slowly fixing the most blatant problems. But I still like the simplicity of the old version.
I do NOT like the fact that I now have to open 1P EACH time I want to use it. Much easier the 'old' way - click on the icon in the tool bar and it logged onto the site where needed.
No discussion of not supporting Firefox 5.0.1
There's a limit to what we can (a) notice when it's not called out in release notes and (b) include in what is intended to be a short update. But that's what comments are for - you can add useful information to the article. So what's the problem with Firefox 5.0.1?
