Uncompress Slow

[Guest]

Just got a new HP Pavilion Media Center system and tried to uncompress a
downloaded zip file. The progress dialog showed a 7 bytes/sec uncompress
rate, somewhere around 30 minutes to uncompress <12MB. What's up Microsoft?

It was slow under xp too. I suggest a using a program like 7-zip instead.

Vista is a lot slower than XP I've noticed as well. I'm using WinRAR for
all my zip/unzip needs.

I agree, zips and even normal file handling in general under Vista is
waaaaaaaaaaay slower than XP
