Snow Leopard with Color 1.5 So far so good

I did a test upgrade on my MacBook Pro (2.2 ghz) with a whole bunch of software on it. FCS3, CS4, AE CS4, etc.
Everything is working beautifully! I did some test color grading on some 30 second spots shot in HDV 1080. Everything worked in Color and FCP as expected.
This feels like a very tuned OS. Background processing doesn't feel like it is hogging the processor. The memory usage seems much improved. I opened a dozen big apps, Photoshop, Modo, AE, FCP, Motion, Color, Soundtrack, Mocah, VMWare Fusion and InDesign and switched between them without any noticeable delay (in Leopard there was a noticeable delay when switching these many open big apps due to caching to disk.) Also quitting apps is instantaneous!
So go ahead and jump on a test machine, so far the water is fine.

Also did upgrade
Final cut 7 wouldn't open at first, I trashed the preferences and it was fine, logic froze the first time but second time opened fine, color worked first time, my MXO needed to update to latest version.
I Agree, the overall performance feels quicker, more instant.
