Apple’s new 27-inch iMacs apparently experiencing performance issues

Apple’s discussion forums have begun to flood with threads by users complaining of poor performance on the company’s new 27-inch iMacs, which were introduced to the public last week. Several different performance issues have been reported, such as the inappropriate spinning down of the hard drive and corrupted Snow Leopard installations, although one issue seems to be most common—poor Flash performance (particularly video playback).
