ReBoot Time

This is on a dual boot system, had to select the OS.
im gonna have to use the 2 second shutdown, and do a little tweaking to get it a little lower.

Ok. I think I,ve got it. These times are being logged on a raw install - correct?
On a reinstall of 7, and then a reboot with Reboot vbs, I got 68 seconds. Still not competion for my Vista installation, but it has a year to go yet before final release. With Ms word 2007 installed, it drops back to 110 seconds and then, with my anti virus , to 165 seconds. So it has a long long road ahead, before it can compete with a customised Vista.

i had 61 seconds with no tweaking on a dualboot system. this isnt a fresh install. ive got all my programs installed. i shoulda ran this thing at fresh install!

two second shutdown?
system specs???
that must have a ssd...

I need to get the 2 second shut down that people are talking about.

Intel Core 2Duo Dul Core 2.20ghz
4 gigs ram
500gb western digital SATA drive.

err... i dunno thats all ya need i guess....

If I'm not totally wrong you're talking about that little tweak: How to Speed Up the Shut Down Time in Windows 7

But it won't shut down your system within 2 seconds, it only decreases the time windows waits before it kills an app. In the tutorial it's set to 2000 milliseconds, therefore it's been referred to as "2 second shutdown"

right. thats what i was talking about. I meant i need to use that thing to get mine to reboot in under a min.

I did that thingy and got 52 secs

One core (default settings) :


Two-core boot :


Note that I have an anti-virus activated at boot and also nothing has been tweaked than the singe/dual core booting option in MSCONFIG.

EDIT

Just did that registry tweak quoted in killercat's post



AWESOME.

They are, in any case, meaningless, unless comapred with another OS on the same, or identical computer.
On my average laptop, unfortunately, I am not so excited. Vista overtuned,7tuned as best is known. Full Programs and hardwARE. Lan and Internet loading. Avast doing its final thing.
Vista boot up in1.20 mins: 7 in 2.20
Both shutdown in about 10 seconds.
Both run programs at near enough, the same speed.
7 outclasses Vista in compatibility. Speed on the Internet about the same.
