Apple updated Mac OS X “Lion” to version 10.7.3 on Wednesday, an update that includes several bug fixes and changes to Lion’s Directory Services. The update also includes Safari 5.1.3, which itself includes bug fixes—the Safari update apparently requires Mac OS X 10.7.3, as it is not being offered as a separate download.

Did they do anything to make it perform better on older powerbooks? I tried 10.7 when it came out and my three year old powerbook started running slowly, crashing at least twice a day and randomly slowing internet speeds down to zero for several minutes (and I tested to see where the problem was coming from).
Until I hear they addressed older powerbook problems I’m not updating.
