Actually things are far worse for Vista., because they are using only a
benchmark program to count various
aspects... However in a REAL life environment Vista performs incredibly
slower... Good tech's know that benchmarks only show some aspects of the
performance of a computer.
I have seen that sometimes vista is as low as 300% slower on some things,
yes, that means that something that would take XP 10 minutes to do, vista
needs 30 minutes... What kind of things? Installing huge programs for one...
vista is slower PERIOD. Basically it was said that vista was faster in boot
and shutdown...
I thought that was true.. but after testing machines that had vista on them
for some time and installed programs,
that too it seems is a misconception.

( I don't agree totally with some of these for example XP performed better
with 512 mb ram than windows98 since it could take advantage of the ram
better, but there is absolutely no such major technological improvement from
XP to Vista)
where it says:
As you can see, my computer perform better in Windows XP. Right now I'm dual
booting Windows XP and Vista.
If you really need your PC to finish huge encoding, transcoding or rendering
workloads within a defined time frame, yes, it is. Don't do it; stay with
XP.
But as long as you don't need to finish workloads in record time, we believe
it makes sense to consider these three bullet points:
* Vista runs considerably more services and thus has to spend somewhat more
resources on itself. Indexing, connectivity and usability don't come for
free.
* There is a lot of CPU performance available today! We've got really fast
dual core processors, and even faster quad cores will hit the market by the
middle of the year. Even though you will lose application performance by
upgrading to Vista, today's hardware is much faster than yesterday's, and
tomorrow's processors will clearly leap even further ahead.
* No new Windows release has been able to offer more application performance
than its predecessor.
Although application performance has had this drawback, the new Windows
Vista performance features SuperFetch and ReadyDrive help to make Vista feel
faster and smoother than Windows XP.
