ok, here's a very quick comparison. sorry, i don't have the patience, discipline, or desire to set up some very controlled experiment between the two cameras.
what
this is what the framing was for both cameras. both were shot at iso 100, 24mm on the 7d, 40 mm on the 5d, so the framing is comparable. defaults applied to both in lightroom, put them side by side and exported them as jpgs, uploaded to flickr. this is my best "real world' comparison, sorry it's not "controlled."

bottom line, in my experience: 5d is sharper, but has less resolution. 7d file seems punchier in color renditon, but not as sharp at the pixel level. i'll see if i can get some high iso comparisons done this evening. i haven't printed either, or reduced the 7d down to a 5d resolution to directly compare. i looked at the individual blades of grass in each file, and decided that the 5d resolves just as many as the 7d, and they look sharper. take it for what it's worth...
now, when it comes to general enjoyment using the 7d vs. 5d, it's no contest. the 7d is light years ahead. viewfinder, controls, live view, LCD, etc... no contest, 7d is a beauty.
