Mac OS X 10.3.8 Special Report: Slow iChat operation
A number of users have reported slow iChat operation after installing Mac OS X 10.3.8. MacFixIt reader Peter now reports that deleting a specific preference file from the ~/Library/Preferences directory resolved the issue:
"The first time I ran iChat after updating it took just as long (2 or more minutes). I then deleted the 'com.apple.iChat.plist' from my User/Library/preferences and restarted iChat. Bingo! Fixed."
