    I just did the install of the release canidate of SP1. After the download I did the install and it took all of less than 20 minutes to install. I did it late as I'd seen stories of over an hour to install. I guess between the SSD and x9100 it went fast.

    So far no issues, TS opened with my task manager setup with no issues. Drive had to reindex so I rebooted after that and ram usage went back to normal.

    I've seen no real improvements yet, then again this is my post after that first reboot. I can see the CPU temp in general looks to have dropped 1-2c but that could just be incidental. The CPU graph on my gadget though seems a bit flatter, no more 15% or so occasional hits on load so that could be it too.

    in all seems to have been pretty painless, so I can recomend it but don't worry too much about waiting as there is nothing ground breaking here for us...............
