mod textures: comparison?

Just curious if anybody here has tried out KP's MW Texture Pack, Brash's High Color Morrowind, and finally, Matthias' Vibrant Morrowind. I'm currently running the first of these, and I think things are slowed down a bit, despite possessing a Radeon 9600 card. I'm looking for comparisons of speed and attractiveness. Thanks.

For those who are curious, I got an answer to my question from the author of Vibrant Morrowind, up on the Morrowind Summit boards.
MW Texture Pack is all-enclusive. It doesn't touch colors, but it does redo object textures, and very well. It also uses 1024 x 1024, which takes up a lot of memory, and can slow down FPS. I've seen people say it doesn't bother 'em, only to find out they're running systems with 512 MB RAM.
Vibrant MW and Fantasy MW only recolor. Fantasy MW gives Morrowind a fairytale book feel: not bad, but increasingly intense and constant. Vibrant is a lot better. It recolors, but subtly. I like its effects.
I've decided pretty much to go with Brash's Land Textures (which deals with landscape) and Carnajo's individual city textures, then put in Vibrant MW. All of this should speed up performance slightly, and look better.
