Well whatever it may be - it is based on pure speculation by all of us, and as such, doesn't really matter at all. The system IS sped up by a great deal and the speedup is something anyone can enjoy, e.g. it has nothing to do with a hardware upgrade but is a plain software issue.
BTW: It is a given fact, that if you turn off the fancy graphics in Windows XP, your machine is faster. More so noticable in Vista. So the idea that the speedup may have been caused by reduced graphic "overhead" is not exactly nonsense.
Anways.
