I don't think you're wrong about the menus, seeing as you noticed it on your own and Apple says there is a difference. I just wonder why I'm not getting it. I get the same result now after I installed the graphics update, too. *shrug*
Speaking of which, does anyone have any details about what this graphics update actually
does? Apple's description is very vague.

For me, the smoothness of Spaces was very noticeable. Thinking about it, I should clarify: the difference in performance relates to zooming out to view all Spaces at once, not simply moving between individual Spaces with keystrokes. Again, this might be down to differences in hardware, but I use Spaces a lot and had always felt the animation juddered but now it seems very smooth.

Yeah, I notice an improvement there, too. I don't use that mode very often, though, so I can't say for sure what kind of difference there was, but I remember it being choppy and now it's fairly smooth. I ALSO notice a difference in keyboard-controlled switching, which I use much more. It seems smoother than it used to be, too.
