Some things are faster, some are slower. Some of the speed is having a fresh clean OS. I have been using a Lenovo Win8 laptop that boots to the desktop in about 20 seconds, but it won't do let me do anything for another 2 minutes until all the bloatware finishes loading. Wake is very fast.
Copying a few 100 MB files to a drive that needs defragging is like pouring molasses on a -20 F day. It can take 20-30 seconds for everything to complete and I am sure it is safe to disconnect the flash drive. I am tempted to start using the command line for things like this.
