I have my 17" MBP Intel Core Duo @ 3.06GHz and SSD. It has 8Gb RAM.

I am currently running 10.6.8 and would like to know if it's worth it to go Mavericks.

I have seen more recent MBP models and didn't like their boot up and shutdown times at all, too slow. Mine is lightning fast, about 5-7 sec to boot up and 1.5 sec to shut down.

What functionalities would I be gaining by switching? Will this model MBP become a snail with the new OS?
