I think it's too early to come to any definitive conclusions regarding performance.

Even that test in your link doesn't show 8 as always better than 7.

Based on my own very short testing with only Renoise, it's pretty much exactly the same, but in 8 I've seen some weird CPU spikes when another program (Notepad) is in front of it.

Some other tests (not strictly audio related) show 8 as slightly worse.

Shrug


(Also, if I may, I'd suggest a more descriptive thread title.)
