it´s 50% marketing hype, like everything from Microsoft, I´d say. ;)
here one blogger enabled readyboost and only got its system boot time to
decrease 30 secs on a 2 min 30 sec boot delay, which is insane... and shows
the amount of smegma that can accumulate and make windows OS evermore slow.

best way to speed up windows is load msconfig and disable all the crap that
loads upon system loading including unneeded services...

and here one fun factoid about Microsoft OS´s bloat and evermore slow
system performance...
0. Win7 5x slower than XP
http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/Test-shows-Windows-7-is-5x-slower-than-XP-in-UI-and-apps-load-slower-than-in-Vista
1. Vista: 25% slower than Windows XP
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/dec/06/microsoft
" We did informal tests, booting both Vista and XP on the same hardware,
and Vista was between 15% and 25% slower than XP in benchmarks"
2. Inforworld: WInXP slower than Windows 2000
"Waiting for Windows XP"
http://web.archive.org/web/20071012211343rn_1/www.infoworld.com/articles/tc/xml/01/10/29/011029tcwinxp.html
" as indicated by re*sults of independent testing performed by CSA Research
and confirmed by our work in the InfoWorld Test Center.* Our tests of the
multitasking capabilities of Windows XP and Windows 2000 demonstrated
that*under the same heavy load on identical hardware, Windows 2000
significantly
outperformed Windows XP. In the most extreme scenario, our Windows XP
system took nearly twice as long to complete a workload as did the Windows
2000 client*"
3. Win2k slower than NT4...
Microsoft looks to bury test results that show NT is faster than Win2000
http://web.archive.org/web/20061022093046/www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/01/03/05/010305opcringely.html
"Microsoft recently threw around its weight -- and its fat wallet --
to squash an independent testing lab from publishing benchmark results
that the lab ran for InfoWorld's sister publication NetworkWorld. The test
demonstrated that* SQL Server 7 runs nearly twice as fast on Windows NT
4.0 than it does on Windows 2000* ."
One of my projects is attempting to compile OpenJDK java so that it runs on
NT4... much leaner win32 development VM....
