I just installed an SSD in  ONE of my laptops and I find the computer to be more sluggish than when I had the 7200 HDD in the machine.... I did run a test and did all OPTIMIZATIONS I could think of... the SSD is an Intel branded drive if that matters

below is a pic of my crystal diskmark test.... is these speeds any good?

What did you expect?  SSD is BETTER for loading a program.
It never makes you CPU faster.
If you have enough memory, and if the OS will load everything you need into memory, the speed advantage of SSD goes away.
Here is a general reference:

However, the OS does better if it knows it is using a SSD and not a HDD. If the OS is not optimized for SSD, the advantages are not so good.
This is for windows 7 and might apply to Windows 10 also.
