Mac - Steps to Downgrade from OS X 10.9 to originally 10.8

(More accurately reinstall old version OSX)

Reason of downgrade:
i dont like plist caching
and my view client is not working well
although i like the new map real time rendering
10.8.5 seems more stable
thats all i m asking for

Steps:
0. WARNING!  Before continue, please note that all data on the drive will be lost
1. start OSX by holding command-alt-R
2. soon you will see a 4 options menu
3. option 4) erase hard drive - caution: erase the "macitosh hd" drive, not the 2GB "os base" drive.
4.  option 2) reinstall os x - 
file system type use default - no encyption, case in-sensitive  ** case-sensitive is good, but some applications not  supporting it.
5. "come back after a coffee" and redo the os initialization.  done.
