Mr. Lenovo IdeaPad meet Mr. Kingston SSD

My Lenovo IdeaPad s10e Netbook got a makeover today! As it's a pretty red shiny little box, I decided that an internal makeover would do the trick and installed a brand new Kingston SSDNow V Series 2,5" 64GB SSD drive.

So far my extremely non-scientific tests yield an impressive result. The boot time for Microsoft Windows 7 RTM (32bit) has dropped from 58 seconds to 33 seconds, from a completely powered off state to the logon prompt displays on screen. That's an impressive 56.90% reduction of boot time. I know this is a bad metric, but as I don't have any other real tangible test methods available to me, that's all you get.


Does anyone have any suggestions as to what and how I could test, with real data, the performance difference before and after SSD drive installation?

Addendum

I realize now that I should have called the IdeaPad s10e Mrs. Lenovo, not Mr.
After all, look at it:
