Same experience here, got a 80MB Intel SSD for my desktop, and being able to start apps in windows the second login is completed is awesome. With a regular disk, you know you're waiting for all the background services and startup apps to launch before the app you actually wanted gets its slot in the I/O queue. I did some tests on having my local repository on the SSD, but it wasn't substantially faster than my regular HDD, probably because working with it is sequential and heavily cached. It will be nice when SSDs are price competitive enough to be the only storage in a desktop computer, if only for getting rid of the heat and the noise.
