How fast it operates with the theme depends on the amount of RAM you have..
And as for the OSX theme, here.
Should use RocketDock to get the full effect.

Installing the osx theme could make your system slow again.

What graphics card do you have? The new UI with vista/7 uses the GPU instead of the CPU.

Cool. Didn`t know that, thought it used RAM

DWM uses GPU acceleration to do all of those graphical effects: it requires less CPU work, as all of the work normally done by the CPU is completely offloaded to the GPU.

That's things like drawing the window border, handling window movement, etc. DWM uses DirectX, whereas disabling it forces GDI+ to handle it. Drawing a window border involves a number if bitblts to video memory under GDI+. Under DirectX, it's a single texture upload (done once) followed by a single draw command - then everything is done behind the scenes on the video card.

(And before you even think about the impact to 3D apps: Rendering 3D to a back buffer is more or less free on most video cards, so there's little to no impact on performance due to DWM. Further, DWM automatically disables itself when a fullscreen 3D application is started.)

If your video card is weak, you can disable things like window transparency and shadows, but if you disable Aero entirely, you're using CPU-based effects and the GPU sits idle.
