Preliminary performance reports suggest that Windows 7 is creeping towards parity, if not a edge, on Windows XP when it comes to performance. It already beats Windows Vista in many areas.
What this suggests is that Windows 7 is poised to eventually beat XP in performance alone once you get updates, patches, bug fixes, drivers, etc., improving over time as they do.
The beta is getting close to XP. That's a good sign.
