Why is my windoze so damned SLOW?
Aloone_Jonez:
Yes but I've found it slow after a major reconfigureation like installing SP2 and a fresh intallation would probably be worse. But after a few boots or even a defrag I've found it graduly speeds up. I can't remember the boot speed when I fist bought my machine but it was faster than my old p200 so I wouldn'tve noticed.
WMD:
For bootup, XP will show you the desktop first after you log in. This appears fast, but everything else is still starting so you can't use it. 2000 waits a bit before showing you the desktop, and it's usable sooner.
Aloone_Jonez:
That's why I included the amount of time it took before the desktop became usable, when I tested Windows XP and Vector Linux, in this thread :D
Don't worry Vector Linux won the race, I don't think Redhad would win though.
piratePenguin:
/me sings "my (Slackware) system boots faster than Aloones supper-fast XP system"
Aloone_Jonez:
Ok if you're going to stoop this low I'll come and join you. :D
Vector Linux Rules!
Slackware rules!
Lol Windows XP boots faster than Redhat. :D
