Even though the EULA accompanying the beta build of Windows 7 prohibits the publication of benchmark results (good luck enforcing that one, Redmond), everybody and their dog will still compare the Windows 7 beta to Vista and Windows XP. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes is one of those benchmarking the beta, and according to his results, the Windows 7 beta beats both Vista and XP in just about every scenario.

Ive been using it full time for about a month now, and it is noticeably faster then vista, but not much more then that. Where it really shines is boot time. It is faster, and doesn't do that thing where vista thrashes the disc for 5 minutes after boot up.
You can take what I say with a grain of salt though, cause on my hardware I can't really tell a difference in performance between xp and vista.
