Several users report that the game Diablo 2 operates extremely slowly after applying the Mac OS X 10.3.6 update.

"For the most part installation went smooth. The only thing i had a problem with was system slowdown. Playing Diablo 2 on line the game slowed down and hard to control character. I downgraded back to Mac OS X 10.3.5 and game works like a charm."
Short of reverting to Mac OS X 10.3.5, some users have found that switching to "software rendering" rather than "OpenGL rendering" provides a substantial speed boost for Diablo 2 under Mac OS X 10.3.6. You can access this preference by holding down the option key while Diablo 2 is starting up.
