As stated it's a long but, informative, article. I skimmed through it as most of the details are familiar to me.
The only issue I see is giving Win7 a 30GB partition. Not sure how big his SSD is but why partition a SSD? Is 30GB the total size of his drive? Personally I'd dedicate 40GB+ to Win7 and programs. When I install and patch Win7 HP 64bit I'm already over 20GB, add in my apps; about 5GB, then my various files another 15GB now we are at 40GB. My SSD is 80GB and the majority of all my files is on a 1TB external drive. Also, with all that RAM he has he can set the page file to 4GB min & max. A page file on a SSD will perform much faster, obviously so not having one? It's up to the individual and if it works with or without, why not.

Well he has a 80GB SSD but it' on multi boot .
He has Open Suse on Dual Boot (10 GB ) atleast .
Plus he has 5 computers.
His main desktop ,with the SSD and 8GB Ram, is not the test rig .
For the actual test he used his older rig with 4GB ram and WD-Raptor 150 in Raid 0
The sole reason he doesnt have page file on his main rig it seems is lack of space .
