    Win 8 is easier on RAM than 7, most likely due to some under the hood tuning by MS

    I don't see the point. How are they comparable when you have Adobe, Nero, Avast and other crap installed and running. If you want to compare them do a clean install with no other software and leave it running for 2 days until it's done the indexing.
