RE:Using automated measuring, I could detect a speed improvement. Using my eyes, I couldn't get beyond thinking I was experiencing wishful thinking or the Placebo effect.

That is not my experience. I have several installs of Windows 7 on the same machine. The SSD install is way faster to the naked eye when opening programs. The larger the program or file the more visible the difference. CS5 and Visual Studio 2010 open about five times faster. It makes me wish SSDs were more affordable.
