[DM-MUG] Leopard runs hotter?

[Darcy Baston]

Plus, I don't think Time Machine backs up a file the moment it's changed. Otherwise nobody could do video work. A person could hit 'save' many times before the initial 20gb file is backed up which means the local copy would be up to date but the backup would still be in the process of updating. Isn't it on a one hour timer or something?
