comparisons to XP and OsX

If the major reason of this distro is to move college students to linux from XP and OsX then speed comparisons would be very valid. You're not going to get many converts if the distro is a lot slower than their existing systems. Learning all the new software is a learning curve as it is, it wouldn't help matters if the new operating took twice as long to boot and start programs.
