I've been trying to speed up Vista machines for customers (I've been
doing this for sometime with XP) and as a benchmark, I measure the following:
Boot time (from power on until I can see the icons in My Computer.
Time to 5% CPU utilization (from power up until the CPU utilization
drops below
When I was running Vista, I put SP1 on (grabbed from MSDN) and noticed
no performance benefit as well.

I'm quite worried when XP stops selling (if MS decides to do that in
