No way is the new MBP only "slightly" faster than the old.

...both of which have a 512 GHz graphics card.

I want one of those!

5-10% sounds about right to me as well. Sadly that does amount to only "slightly" faster.

I'm using that one the next time I get pulled over.

10% is a nice speed bump. What do you expect, 20-25% each update? Really?

A performance bump of ~9% every three months is equivalent to projections that integrated circuits double in performance every two years.

I expect such a performance boost from an architecture update and not just the usually speed bumps.

Remember Netburst to Core 2 and the decimation of the Athlon 64? That was just two years ago.

then this should not be unexpected to you.

your 25% will come next year in the form of nehalem/core i7/quickpath.
