It really doesn't add much overhead compared to 3.1. It occupies more space,
though not necessarily more than the heavily patched systems most 3.0/3.1
people run.
Is it a big enough jump? Well, certainly a big jump from the stock 3.1
installation, but it really is a 3.x system with a lot of bells and whistles.
I certainly like the new HDToolBox, in case you run drives over 4 GB, and
over-all, you're spared from the headache of considering whayt patches to run,
since all such functionality is in the box from the beginning.
And if you run 3.9, you get media players and a nice TCP/IP stack which
otherwise cost money.
OTOH, it's a lot more fun to run once you've got a graphics card. But so is
everything.
