I've actually seen some improvements with Windows 7 ReadyBoost on my Asus 1215N laptop. Of course, it is hobbled with a 5400rpm HDD, but in using a Class 10 SD card, I've noticed that some things are a bit peppier. It is hard to say since I haven't done any objective testing, and ReadyBoost also needs time for proper tuning and learning your behaviour. Still, since I had the card available and the SD slot on my netbook isn't doing anything else...
