Just for the record, I noticed a huge speedup in Windows console scrolling when I switched from WinXP to Win7 on a faster computer :)
How much is due to the XP->7 switch and how much to the faster computer, I cannot say, but it seemed much more significant than other speedups in other software.  The point?  Benchmark it on Win7, not XP.
