From what I've seen, the only difference between System 7 and earlier systems as far as speed goes is that because of the heavy use of color in the Finder, when running in 8 bit mode, its updates are a little slower as would be expected.  If I go back to black & white in the Finder, things seem just as fast.  Personally, the slight difference in speed doesn't bother me in the slightest.
