"November 24, 2007 (Computerworld) Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), the update
scheduled to be released next year, runs Microsoft Corp.'s Office suite 10% faster
than XP SP2, a performance testing software developer reported Friday.

Devil Mountain Software Inc., which earlier in the week claimed that Windows Vista
SP1 was no faster than the original, repeated some of the same tests on the release
candidate of Windows XP SP3, the service pack recently issued to about 15,000 testers.

"We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Windows XP SP3 delivers a measurable
performance boost to this aging desktop OS," said Craig Barth, Devil Mountain's chief
technology officer, in a post to a company blog on Friday. "
