OK, assuming the actual speed over the long run is about the same then the speed of a new install will be greater. The same would be true reinstalling the same OS.
Huh?
If you reinstall Tiger (archive or clean) in 6 months after you've had it running for a significant amount of uptime it will be faster. Its just a consequence of having all the files placed in a virgin order, VM reset, no apps running yet, no orphaned processes sitting their taking up RAM, etc. There is always a significant proportion of users who report a speedup of every new install (when they are really about roughly the same speed) because a new install (and reboot) is always faster than one that has been around for awhile.
