As I just stated above, high performance storage is NOT a requirement, as it has nothing to do with "graphical response". That's graphical processing speed: CPU, cache sizes and speeds, RAM size and speed, and of course GPU capabilities.
Except for file I/O, there's not much as SSD does to improve performance perception.
A lot of people like to measure system performance by power-on to login prompt. That's great. It's a sequence with lots of I/O. And it takes about 21 seconds when I boot W7 with the SSD drive. But I'm getting tea or coffee at that time, or checking voice messages, or greeting colleagues. So its immaterial to me and is not a component of my normal end-user experience. My actual constant use applications are either networked client/server tools or web applications, or I use interactive office applications with either locall or networked data.
SSD's value to me is size, weight, and power consumption.
