I had exactly the same experience -- coupled with a RAM upgrade, it makes
even gentoo almost painless: startx loads a GUI instantly, windows snap 
open at a click, and disk-intensive operations (like file indexing) no
longer slow everything to a crawl. Well worth every penny. I suppose even
these speed gains will seem slow and antiquated one day, but by then I
expect to be pretty slow and antiquated myself, so I won't care.
