I've always hated Dashboard, and have been waiting for Apple to get rid of it. It was always popping up when I didn't want it, while I was editing or otherwise doing something useful. Now it's gone! YES! Thanks SO much! I’ve always hated Dashboard, and have been waiting for Apple to get rid of it.

On normal use I like Dashboard, but I have created a separate user for games only. Under that gamer account on my Mac I have put the eye candy to the least, set background 50% gray, disabled all unnecessary tools&toys - and now disabled the Dashboard, too. Of course I could just buy some extra memory, but this is cheaper (=for free, as in beer) :-D This worked quite fine, thanks!

I don't need it, don't want it, and I know it comes at a price (memory). I'd be okay without all the flipbook fanciness in the folder previews as well.

It is possible to speed it up by wiping its cache.
