I also found that the machine now feels about as responsive as an XP system with a virtually identical CPU on 2GB of RAM does with 2GB it felt extremely sluggish by comparison. The major difference I noticed going from 2GB to 4GB was that the machine no longer lagged when typing in text boxes such as this one while an application (such as Colloquy) bounced in the dock trying to get my attention. usually I have multiple FF windows open with 15 tabs or so each, and 10-15 IM conversations. For me, that's actually a pretty light load. Right now my MBP has Firefox open (with 6 tabs), Colloquy (in 4 channels on 2 servers), Adium (2 conversations), Skype, Hardware Monitor, Stickies, TextEdit, Calculator and Acrobat open. It will depend on how you use the machine. I agree with brian, although I would say that it's more of a dramatic speed increase than it is a slight increase.
