It depends on the hardware. I've had Vista machines that were very smooth, and others that had a hard time getting off the ground. But I learned that even with the good setups, the install could crash at any moment, because MS gave up any meaningful support of the OS years ago, wanting (us) to simply forget it ever existed. There was nothing wrong with the OS that couldn't be dealt with, it was a financial and marketing decision, and one that left the field tech and ultimately the owner holding the bag.
LL is faster and better though, no question. Honestly, my one hangup is marketing. I'm afraid that converting to Linux will limit the marketability of my laptops. Otherwise I would simply wipe all XP and Vista machines and install LL first thing.
