Swapped my old circular saw blade for a Diablo and cut time in half

I used to think any blade was good enough for framing lumber. After fighting through some wet spruce for a deck last summer, I grabbed a Diablo 7-1/4 inch 24 tooth blade at Home Depot in Edmonton. First cut through pressure treated 2x6 was like butter compared to the old worn out Irwin. Anyone else notice a big difference upgrading blades or am I just slow?

Dude, same thing happened to me with my old saw. Swapped in a Diablo and it was night and day on some wet cedar I was cutting. Best money I spent all year on tools.

Went through three cheap blades in one afternoon cutting some pressure treated lumber that was still wet. Finally broke down and got a Diablo and i swear i almost cried at how smooth it cut. My wife walked in and asked why i was smiling at a saw blade like an idiot.
