I've now spent a week running my laptop from an SSD drive instead of a normal hard drive... The difference is pretty much amazing. It used to be that RAM was the best upgrade on a computer, I would now say that adding an SSD is probably the best way to speed up your computer. Especially if your on a laptop.
I'm not a benchmark and numbers person, but in general usage I am never waiting more than a second for a program to open or run, bootups are very speedy and opening and closing virtual machines is very quick indeed. The whole system feels much more responsive.

Anyone else took the plunge and gone to SSD?
