SP2 speed improvements

[Rich]

Has anyone seen any? I still see the spinning wheel and can't do a thing
until it goes away. I double click and MP3 file spinning wheel until Winamp
fires up, which used to take no time now I don't know what it's doing but
takes longer and still can't do anything with a $800 computer until the
wheel stops turning.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen improvements, Rich

Disable Aero, that will give you some improvement. Change the theme to
classic windows.

Yes. I installed SP2 about a week ago and was pleasantly surprised to see
a noticeable improvement particularly when opening programs or shortcuts.

Also if you have Windows Search 4.0 installed, uninstall it it is a dog!

The speed improvement one sees may be different depending on the system
configuration. My system e.g. has 4GBs of RAM (with 32bit Home Premium)
and that may react differently than a system with 2GBs of RAM.

Of course. And, no doubt, depending on other configuration issues as well.
(My system is Vista Ultimate with 4 GB RAM).
