Hmm, that's contrary to the SP1 reviews I'd read...were these "established" Pre-SP1 Vista machines, or clean installs of both?
I've tried both. And the argument that a slow Vista machine must be blamed on 3rd party software is bunk, IMO. I can speed up an XP machine by removing the startup crapware and reconfiguring the services easily - this can't be done with Vista. Removing startup programs doesn't have the same affect.
The reason I ask is that SP1 clears Vista's SuperFetch learned behavior cache, so it's re-learning from scratch. That could play a big role in that test...
How long would it take Superfetch to relearn? If I rebooted 10 times, should it slowly get faster until I see an improvement, in theory? If so, I'd be happy to test that.
