in my experience.. Alpha made somethings slower... for example YOUTUBE videos on 720 were slow, Winamp, WMP, and bla bla the only video player that really worked well was Classic player, i guess that it because of its complex structure but simple functionality, it takes the resources to do what must be done.
... but i have a theory. no matter how well you administrate your system it always gets old and slow, no matter how many defrags, no matter how many antivirus and tuneups you got, at the end it will become slow, and you ll requiere a format so when a system gets old running all the time software that is not making everything it should and HOW ITS SUPOUSED to (im talking about MDs) at the end youll start noticing weird behaviors... no matter what every 6 months a new OS is installed in those heavy duty machines... hey did u see the new M11x? im chasing one... im selling my PS3 and x360 to pay a part of it btw DO NOT BUY XBOX 360 is the worst thing out there -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
