Perform better on Windows XP or Windows 7

I'm wondering if theres a performance increase running Windows 7 over Windows XP? This would be in relation to creating multiple parts with multiple features in a assembly. Then editing those parts/features and rebuilding the assembly. My biggest issue is rebuild time.

My computer specs are:

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

Dell Precision T3400

Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo

E6850 @ 3.00GHz

8 GB of RAM

NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 video card

All responses much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
