Who's the fastest OS in the land? WinXP vs Vista vs OS X

Last weeks "interesting" Gartner report on Windows reminded me I had some unfinished business. I've actually been waiting for Windows XP SP3 to release before I ran some tests, but I decided to go ahead and have some fun today while watching the Masters.
