Hackintosh faster with less dock icons?

[Willistuder]

I can now testify to the fact that freeing the dock and leaving only ten icons made my system slightly faster responsive and with less click-launch lag.
Can anyone confirm this with own experience?

Nope, I have 20 icons and everything is lightning fast, maybe because of the SSD...

I have around 60 icons, and my Hack is screaming fast, all the time. Maybe it's my quad i5 and RAID0'd SSDs, or maybe there's something wrong with your Hack...

It's not the general speed or performance - the Geekbench scores remain the same. It's just that click-and-startup time is quicker than before.
My friend who is a Mac user for decades has just confirmed that it's a well-known trick.

Mine is really blazing fast for click and startup time.Clicking on MS Word, Excel & Powerpoint instantly open the apps. Not even a blink on the eyes...

With a Celeron G530 you are going to notice the difference with small tweaks that will not have any significance for processors costing 5 to 10 times as much.....anything you can do to squeeze a bit more from that chip will help, particularly in reducing your boot to functional desktop times.
