    Thought they said the sp1 will just contain all the patches that we have been dl'ing so far via update.
    Never heard of any performance work being done.

    I have the win 7 sp1 installed on my VM and dont see any performance difference in the OS at all. As snake said, this service pack just contain all patches to date all in one package.

    The performance increase you're seeing is almost certainly just a byproduct of the clean-install, not SP1 specifically.

    Thats not really a massive change. Theres many factors that can contribute to that small jump in fps. As rec said its very likely because of the clean os install. As well as that it could be the lack of disk fragmentation, less driver conflicts with constant install of newer drivers over older ones, less processes loaded into the os kernal could be the main factor as bc2 is very very cpu dependent.

    Every time I do a clean install on my own PC I benchmark before and after, and the numbers are always up marginally after install, I suspect this is the case with a fresh install of SP1.

    Looks like it's getting time for a reformat.
