It can be beneficial if your system is robust (8GB memory, for example), but a hindrance if not.
Current Vista users experiencing poor speed, try turning this off in your services control manager, and observe the difference in memory usage and general speed.
Again, not a MS lover here, but I think many will find this to be a big help. |
yeap.. my original post mentions superfetch and dwm.exe which controls vista's cute interface as being resource hogs... However I downgraded not because the OS was running slow (I have 4gb of ram which is barely OK) .. but because all of the sudden .. Vista started to mismanage CPU ... meaning that if I saved a text file the cpu jumped to 80%.... and in this biz.. multitasking is everything.. EVERYTHING... and when you can't multitask because the OS engages both cores at 100% by simply saving a text file... u know you have shit in ur hands....
