And 2K is twice as fast as XP.
Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception
You are not the only one out there who seems to have noted the speed of 2K, on old or modern hardware. What types of test are you running to arrive at 'twice' though?

And Windows NT is twice as fast as 2k. Windows 95 is twice is fast as Windows 98. Windows 3.1 is twice as fast as Windows 95. (or in other words, 3.1 is 16x as fast as Vista!) Fortunately, hardware improvements more or less cancel this difference. We've traded speed for more features. Over time, all software spoils[^]. More features, more sophistication, more complexity, bigger downloads, bigger memory footprints, ad infinitum.

Nothing spoils the speed of a good ol console app. It gets me to vomit faster than anything else I've ever seen that wasn't affiliated with Lotus.

When XP came out, I did comparisons on identical Compaq systems and found very little difference in performance. Adding memory and a better hard drive did wonders for both. Neither was as fast as Win98, however, though the latter was more unstable.

So Vista was already 0.55 the speed of SP2? Color me not surprised.

That's nothing. So's a sloth, that's not been feeling well, and died then gone stiff, before being pickled and used as a doorstop.
