None and very little.

At 0(105-Ultegra) & 30(Ultegra-7700) gram difference in the freehubs and 25 & 50 g differences for the cassettes:
If you were chasing Lance up L'Alpe d'Huez. It could easily be the deciding factor between you finishing 17'21" behind him or 17'28" behind him! :eek:

My question was more about performance than weight.

You probably wouldn't even notice if you're talking about just changing the RD and that's it. Even if you jumped from 105 straight to Dura-Ace.

Upgrading your cables would probably make a bigger difference in performance.

I have a full DA on my primary bike and 105 on my backup, I ride them interchangably when I train. The place only where I notice it is in the shifters in terms of crispness. That being said I wouldn't spec out a 3k frame with 105, but I wouldn't upgrade a 105 to Ultegra either. Save the cash for tubes, tires and beer.
