This is a little off target from the question you actually asked, but
I wanted to share my experience going from a 15 in MBP to a 13 in MBA.
The biggest impediment I found to getting work done efficiently on the
MBA was not the lack of speed. It was the fact that the 13 inch
screen seriously limited the number of apps I could have running side-
by-side. This then got in the way of such basic operations as copying
text from a Word document into a text field in an application I was
building in Rev or having a PDF of the Rev manual open at the same
time as I was using Rev. I eventually decided to go back to using a 15
inch MBP pretty much exclusively for the screen size.
Of course, YMMV.

I'd like advice in two areas .....
1. Should I buy the 13-inch or the 15-inch ?
I can compare the screen sizes, and the resolution and even the
relative weights.
But I don't have a realistic idea of how much faster the Intel i5 is
over the older Dual Core.
So any advice about performance, or pointers to reliable benchmark
sites for Mac ?
2. I plan to dual-boot or triple-boot OSX, Win 7 and Linux (some
kind). Probably just using Bootcamp, but I might want to use VmWare
or other VM later.
Any advice on setting the machine up to make this easy ?
Thanks
