All good with bitcoin-0.8.0rc1-win32

• Windows 7
• HP 8440 laptop with 4 cores
• 8GB RAM
• FiOS connection

Good upgrade from 0.7.1-353-g3afefd8-win32

With an empty data directory and bootstrap.dat, 3h 40m to current blockheight. Multithreading doesn't seem to start until after bootstrap.dat is loaded.

Good upgrade from 0.7.2. Reindexing completed through blockheight 216274 in 37m. Update to current block from the network had long periods with no data coming in, but did show good multithreading when data was arriving.
