Performance improvements?

[Moogy]

Hey everyone - I am considering trying out vLite, but first I wanted to find out if there are any documented performance increases.

Right now, on my 3.6GHz 4GB Raptor system with ReadyBoost (on a fast USB Drive) and 8800GTX (and 7950GT for 2 more monitors) it takes my system well over 60 seconds to completely load Vista x64 to the point where I can start using it after I log in.

I don't even have Dev Studio or SQL installed! The only thing I have installed that's a big 'suite' is Office 2007.

Anyway, I'm tired of Vista taking forever to boot and running like crap regardless of the hardware I throw at it.

Can anyone provide details on how vLite can improve my performace - not just hypothetically, but practically and proven?

Thanks!

with vlite you can remove all the stuff that you dont use in vista. some things that you dont use may have a service attached to them. the less services that need to be started when windows boots makes it boot faster. now the best way to get you system to boot faster/run smoother is to go in and disable all services you never use and set other services that you occasionally use to manual. the advantage of using vlite is that it removes bloat from both the dvd and a fresh install of vista giving you more room to work with. but i would suggest using vlite to remove all the stuff that is useless to you then when in vista change services to auto/manual/disable depending on how you need it. i had use vista but went back to xp till i can upgrade my computer. i dont remember how many services are running on a default install if xp but i have it down to about 25 services and 36 processes. but i know that there is a whole lot more services in vista that i would find useless. just experiment with tweaks and change all the services. and vlite will help with all the bloat. also you can integrate the newest hotfixes and drivers for your computer and save your self a bunch of time and remove more bloat. i am working a vlite dvd right now as i will be updateing my system in about a month. ive gotten all the bloat removed that i dont use (unless a newer vlite comes out that lets me remove more). i am also looking into tweaks and services in vista so i know now wat i need/dont need what i can tweak for better performance and anything else i can change for a better experience.
