Vista SP1 vs. XP SP2 - Benchmarked

Citação :

The Tests

The tests are the same tests I’ve carried out before, consisting of moving, compressing and extracting a set of files. I had two sets of test files:

A single 664MB file
A folder containing 500 files in 10 folders, total file size 995MB
The tests that were carried out using both sets of files were:

Drive to drive copy
Add to compressed folder (using Windows built-in compression)
Extract files from compressed folder (using Windows built-in compression)
Push files to a network share over a 1Gb Ethernet connection
Pull files over a network share over a 1Gb Ethernet connection
Push files to an external USB hard drive
Pull files from an external USB hard drive
I also measured the boot up time (I took this as the time from the boot loader to a usable desktop).

Each test was run four times, the poorest result was discarded and the average of the remaining three taken.

Conclusions and Caveats

Note: I didn’t benchmark against XP SP3 because the EULA prevents the disclosure of benchmark results. Also, since it’s a beta, things can change between now and the final release.

So, onto conclusions. Looking at the data there’s only one conclusion that can be drawn - Windows XP SP2 is faster than Windows Vista SP1. End of story. Out of the fifteen tests carried out, XP SP2 beat Vista SP1 in eleven, Vista SP1 beat XP SP2 in two of the tests, and two of the tests resulted in a draw.

The best result for Vista SP1 was in the single file drive-to-drive copy, while the best result for XP SP2 was extracting multiple files from a compressed folder. Given these results and taking into account the improvments that SP1 bought to Vista, if I was to go back and compare XP SP2 with Vista RTM, XP would have hammered Vista even harder.

E pronto quem tinha a mania que o Vista é que era bom, estamos conversados!
