Tests have revealed that Windows XP SP3 is 10% faster than SP2.
 

Realtechnews reports that the testers (Devil Mountain Software) ran tests using their OfficeBench Microsoft Office-based test script on a Dell XPS M1710 with 2GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, 1GB of RAM and nVidia GeForce Go 7900GS video.
 

Craig Barth, Devil Mountain’s CTO said:
 

Since SP3 was supposed to be mostly a bug-fix/patch consolidation release, the unexpected speed boost comes as a nice bonus. In fact, XP SP3 is shaping up to be a ‘must-have’ update for the majority of users who are still running Redmond’s not-so-latest and greatest desktop OS.
