Windows 7 review:
Windows 7 review: 'New' OS is just Vista with small changes

Performance enhancements

"We have already determined that W7 won't make your computer run any faster. And if you are upgrading from XP, it might run slightly slower, just as with Vista. ...
...

But it's not really anything new. We hate to be the reviewers who say that the emperor has no clothes, but there's so much hype surrounding W7 that most people are probably expecting an entirely new operating system. What they will find is an improved version of Vista, with the same warts and flaws and a few improvements. That's really it."

^o^
