Incredible speed and free space increase with snow leopard
Strange as it may seem, when I installed Snow Leopard, I immediately freed almost 40 gig on my Macbook pro (can't imagine why) and speed was increased by a factor of 2-3 times. One more thing is that parallels is now "almost" as fast as a native program, especially with Quicken for windows, which is the only reason that I use parallels.
Anyway, as you may tell, I am extremely pleased.

I can' wait to see iTunes turn into a 64bit Cocoa app

See this thread.
Nearly full hard drives are much MUCH slower than drives with more free space available. Depending on virtual memory usage, the difference in performance ranges from somewhat surprising to downright stupefying.
