I wonder how much of it is actually Vista related...
HmmOthers claim that the SP1 has adversely affected system performance, something it was supposed to fix: "Isn't a Service Pack suppose to fix issues? [I] went from using 650MB of RAM idle to 1GB ... I'll be be switching back".
Think they read the release notes?Originally posted by MicrosoftThe Windows Vista SP1 install process clears the user-specific data that is used by Windows to optimize performance, which may make the system feel less responsive immediately after install. As the customer uses their SP1 PC, the system will be retrained over the course of a few hours or days and will return to the previous level of responsiveness.
