JHoxley said:That's not even remotely surprising. Until I broke it yesterday, I was dual-booting 5270 and XP - XP runs circles around Vista when it comes to performance! BUT, and this is the important part, one is a stable mature 5 year old OS, one is only just feature-complete
I'd imagine that the true performance of Vista won't start to be known for a while yet - 5308 is feature complete, which means they're now going to be working on bug fixes and optimizations rather than new stuff.

I find this a bit interesting, as in my opinion, based on my own experience on Build 5270, it's already faster in general usage than XP is or ever was - after you've set everything up to your likings. Only thing lagging sometimes was the Aero Glass UI, but I'd blame my half-broken 6800LE 128MB for it rather than the UI itself.
Of course, if you mean games performance I don't really know, as I've only played a bit of WoW on it where I find no chances in performance that I could have noticed.
