Mac OS X 10.0.1--How Fast is It?

We timed a number of application launches (Classic, Carbon and Cocoa) on our 450 MHz G4 Cube with the original 10.0 release and the 10.0.1 update. We had already applied the "sudo update_prebinding -root /" command to the original Mac OS X 10.0 installation which had already sped up application launches perceptibly. Here are the resulting launch times in seconds:

Application	X 10.0	X 10.0.1
Netscape 4.77	7	6
Word 2001	5	4
IE 5.1	9	10
OmniWeb 4.0cf3	14	13
Mail	4	4
System Preferences	3	2

While generally faster at these application launches, the v10.0.1 update is at best only a split second faster than 10.0 is after applying the prebinding command. Still, we get a distinct impression that the Finder is more crisp after the update.
