For actually getting things done, Vista and 7 are about the same, maybe with 7 being slower. But for interactivity 7 "feels" faster because they've make the GUI run with a higher priority. Also the memory foot print has been decreased, so lesser machines can run it without swapping to the hard disk constantly, that really speeds things up in that case.
