I have a Power Mac G5 (2GHz dual core, PPC) with 4 GB RAM running 10.5.3, and a Macbook Pro (2 GHz dual core, Intel) with 2 GB RAM running 10.4.11. I bounce my OF database between the two machines depending if I'm at home or work, and the DB backup file is 304kb in size.

On the laptop, OF works just fine. But on the G5 it can be as slow as an old dog. The simple act of dragging a task from the inbox to a project causes the OmniFocus process to spike to 40% or 50% of CPU usage.

Other than plunking down $2500+ for a new rig, is there anything I can do to improve performance on the G5?
