has anyone noticed any performance improvements with SP1?

I have seen many complaints and many positive installs, but not much word on any system
improvements... Performance for example.

A program that would not run (Click to DVD BD) now does!
Start-up takes longer.
File downloads much quicker.
Thas all so far....

Superfetch will initially be slower as the original file was deleted
when SP1 is installed.
It will then retrain and come up to speed.

I noticed some improvement in desktop performance. It pulls up applications
a little quicker. File transfer is better. I just did a test between
networked computers. Outbound transfer pushes my 100 Mb card / cable /
switch limit. Inbound is another story. It's about 25% but that is double
what is was before SP1. Still testing.

Transfering from computer to a USB drive = faster. Transfering to a network
drive wirelessly = Same as before (slow)

I'm seeing USB 2.0 external IDE drive performance about 5 MB/s out / 10.5
MB/s inbound about 3 time faster than before SP1.

Not really.

Entirely subjective, but my laptop seems a bit "zippier." Programs seem to
load faster, internet browsing is faster, file transfers (wireless and usb)
definitely seem faster. In the past, I've had trouble copying large and
media files -- explorer would crash. So far, that hasn't happened. One big
thing: there is much less disk activity and load on the cpu. I haven't hit
anything that doesn't run. SP1 installed on my machine, even though I have
one of the "forbidden" drivers -- a finger print reader. Installation was
flawless.

I also haven't had wireless issues, e.g. the computer suddenly losing the
wifi nic (fixed by disabling and re-enabling), losing dns, losing dhcp, etc.

So far, I'm pleased.
