The older UI was also noticably faster. The new UI looked like a daycare: saturated colors and all thick, rounded borders on everything.

Maybe Windows 2000 was faster than XP, but I'm pretty sure the old and new UIs in Windows XP didn't have any speed difference. It was just different cosmetics.

The classic UI was absolutely faster. I could always notice a speedup by switching to it on low powered machines.
