I have had a similar situation develop since upgrading to 3.3 .
I had made several system changes to wit, the addition of the sblive card with
its Creative Launcher bar, and we have a virus protection program running in the
background also.
I was getting a real slow response with a 200 mh machine with 32 megs of memory and
4 gigs of hard drive.
I ran a couple of diagnostic programs on the system and they both
recommended I change the file system setting in the control pannel performance tab
from desktop (which my computer is) to network server which of course it isn't.
I did that, and have indeed noticed a little better performance.
They suggest another change that I don't have the guts to implement because I don't
understand it fully.
This one involves changing the memory management box from letting Windows manage your
memory
to managing it manually. When you do this (once again from the performance tab
advanced memory setting in
control pannel) you get a set of minimum and maximum values. I don't know what should
go there, so I've been afraid to
try it.
It is supposed to further increase performance, but I don't know.
And yes, to keep this one on topic, JFW certainly does load faster since I
changed the file system setting.
