    It's your RAM. I had the same deal on a 2010 Mac Mini, and I finally decided to try a RAM upgrade before giving up on it.

    I'm guessing it's the result of an optimization decision that may have improved performance on newer machines with more RAM, but threw the older systems under the bus.

    Well, I'm not going to replace the RAM, not on a machine from 2008. It works just fine in Linux, which I think was one of the points I made. It doesn't HAVE to be slow. Apple just doesn't give a shit, and I'm beginning to think the same way about them, and that should scare them somewhat because I know I'm not alone in that feeling. My latest iMac will likely be my last if I don't see some improvements in the quality of their software and their attitudes toward their customers who buy their overpriced hardware.
