I completely hear you on that -- a good point. And I didn't compare to see how many processes were running. Having said that, the difference in sleep time just made me curious if, generally speaking, Windows 7 might be a bit slower ... though so far, what I've read said the new OS should be much snappier.

Hefemeister, thanks for replying. Running both on the exact same system should be a fairly reliable indication of speeds.
I noticed that, on my brand new system (Windows 7), the DVI signal to the monitor, the wireless connection, etc. suspend after 5 seconds, but the fans keep going for another 15 seconds; then the hard-drive indicator flashes briefly and the system finally goes to sleep. On the Vista system, everything suspends/goes "off" at the same time.
