Did a comparission with my PowerBook (1GHz with 1GB RAM), before and after with XBench.

Before 10.3: 85.61
After 10.3: 98.03

Both test was run after doing disk maintenance and defragment and a cold reboot. The most improvement was in the System Allocation test.

Appears disk maintenance and defragmentation does make a difference.
No cold start though.

Xbench

PB (1ghz/1gb ram)
Before: 10.2.8. = 85.40
After: 10.2.8. = 90.98
10.3. = me no have yet. smile.gif

Yes, you will actually notice a difference if you run Drive 10 and then run XBench afterwards. The disk access is one part tested.
