XP SP1 glitch -- slow program startup
« on: March 29, 2003, 12:38:59 pm »

From Microsoft web site:

SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), your programs may take as much as ten times as long to start.

CAUSE
This problem may occur if the programs you run frequently allocate and deallocate large blocks of memory. Changes in Windows XP SP1 in the memory management system have caused this operation to take significantly longer than with pre-SP1 Windows XP.

I guess Windows Superduper XP Pro 2003 Limited Edition (Gold Version) Sp2 will fix this
