Compared to boot Windows, SXCE is quite snappy. I've a Ferrari 4000/2GB
with nvb_76 and a Ferrari 5000/2GB with WinXP/SP2 and to test them I
boot both up in parallel, login and start Firefox to the same page. SXCE
always wins and then it has also started MySQL, Apache and GlassFish.
Haven't tested any Linux distro but I think it will beat WinXP too.
