I've seen you post this several times, but I must claim that I have not
had the same problem. While I haven't run MacBench, I get the same
frames per second in UT whether the extention is enabled or disabled.

Also, disabling the iShock driver for some reason decreases the
inputsprocket compatibility, and so I have to leave it enabled. For
example, in MacMame when I have both extensions enabled, I get full
customization over every button on the pad. However, when I turn off
the iShock extension and just keep the IS extension, then when I go to
MacMame the configuration screen gives me a very limited set of
options. I can no longer configure the movement pad or the analog
sticks, so for the most part it is unusable. I have the newest version
of IS, but I guess it doesn't know how to configure the gamepad
correctly unless the extension is enabled. Dunno

One thing you need to watch out for is the iShock's extension which
enables non InputSprocket support. It cuts down on performance
tremendously. I have a G3 466 which cpu benches around 1500 on MacBench
5. With the MacAlly iShock driver installed, my bench was cut down to
around 1200. That's 300 points off, around a 20% decrease. So just
enable the driver when you want to play X-Wing or Tie-Fighter (or
whatever nonInputSprocket game you want to play).

I recently got one after trying and returning a Gravis Xterminator
gamepad. The iShock does a good job of feeling just like a PSX analog
controller. More importantly to me, it is supported very well by
InputSprockets AND by the MacAlly software allowing you to assign
keystrokes and mouse movement and clicks to all the control elements.
The Xterminator only offered InputSprockets support and in at least one
game, Ferazel's Wand, that support was incomplete.
