I still get somewhat frequent disk thrashing that slows down performance to molasses, first couple of times it happened I figured it was just Spotlight indexing and I wouldn't see it again, but I'm still getting it. So performance is a real disappointment, but by most accounts tiger is supposed to perform much better than its predecessors, so perhaps there is some other problem.

I have not made any progress, in the sense that the noises stopped within the first day of using Tiger. I've chalked it up to some sort of post-upgrade optimization, perhaps related to Spotlight or just disk management in general. But definitely weird and scary optimization. Sorry I can't be more help.

My disk is also making some new kinds of clicking noises since I installed Tiger, and I was worried the disk might be on its way out. I was just wondering what kind of computer you have (mine is an aluminum PowerBook G4 15") and whether you gained any more information on this issue.
