I will add my <aol>me too</aol> here.

I move my home computer to 6.0 when I get back a connexion at home. My
office computer used to seem far faster than my home one (quite normal
for a 3.2 GHz PIV against an Athlon 1800+, with twice memory) but
after some weeks of 6.0 on my Athlon and _many_ ports building (mostly
because of the damned f*** last OCaml release) the relative difference
seems far less impressive.

This also quite subjective, but my feeling is that speed impressions
is as important as real speed improvements, at least for
workstation. Just note that my actual usage is only LaTeX (PhD writing
... ) and ports building.

This was my 2 cents.
