    Windows 7 seems snappier now that SP1 is installed


    I mean it seems more responsive when switching windows for examples. Did MS make any improvements on the performance side with SP1 ?

    first thing in mind was placebo effect... but no, I made a clean installation and straight install of the SP1, after sometime I was thinking "hmm seems snappier" while using explorer and installing some programs.

    kudos to Microsoft, i prefer performance boost than new useless features.

    Make sure then to clean up the SP install (if not on a clean system) to reduce the disk footprint as well. I would guess there are a few areas of code cleanup in the updates SP1 brings to the table, so this is not surprising.

Because I've seen benchmarks coming out showing Windows 7 not to be much quicker than vista in raw power, I thought it would be important for people to see why why 7 is indeed snappier than vista. It's not a placebo effect. Gizmodo - Why Windows 7 Is Snappier Than Vista - windows 7
