ReBoot Time

[davehc]

Hi Dave,
Same machine for both. The only difference is I don't have all of my programs installed in
W7 yet. Can't imagine that an Office suite would slow it down much. Might though. I have noticed that when Vista is loaded I'm using about 35% of Ram and in W7 I'm only using 19%. Maybe prefetch isn't doing as much.

Well, its a very early release and could go either way. They have a lot more registry entries to put in yet, and maybe a few more dll,s.

When I look back on my posts, I think I am giving the impression that I am anti 7. Far from it. I do believe some of the claims are exaggerated a little, but overall the next OS is shaping the right way.

ROFLMAO!

Hello everyone....

I believe an explanation is in order.

I had a lot of things starting at boot and that one got lost in the shuffle somehow. I never got the notice after I implemented that one until the next day. I made some registry changes and had to reboot and after the post I got that time. I made no changes to the time; it's exactly as it was listed when I got it.

I posted it here because I knew it would be good for a laugh; and it was.

Mine:

Dual boot, must have lost a second selecting OS

 

[Mark]

Nice time Smarteyeball, wish mine was that quick.

 

[smarteyeball]

I was pleasantly surprised It's still practically a 'fresh' installation which helps

 

[davehc]

So my Vista boot time is still the winner for either OS's

Here's my latest. Thanks Shawn.

Wow Gary that's the fastest time I've ever seen, well done!

Was that using the 2 second shut down from Shawn?

 

[Barman58]

With full set of services
Non default OS in Dual Boot (have to manually select)
Strong Password on the account (have to type in with shift keys and stuff)
and my system spec

It'll do

PS. Just checked - it was 100 secs under Vista

[garysgold]

Yes Mr GRiM, that's the only difference. Haven't stopped any services.

You're welcome Gary.

Here's mine. It has not been optimized yet.

Later :huh: Ted

lol, you should see my Vista time. It went from an untweaked 75 seconds to a 'tweaked' 120+ and I'm buggered if I know what's caused the extra delay

(Applying a whole list of changes rather than the one at a time method is not good )

Don't feel too down, BareFoot. Mine is still rock steady at 167 seconds. I have tried every customising trick in the book and it remains unchanged. I,m still getting 64 seconds on my Vista64 OS, on the same computer!

Hello Dave.

As this Windows 7 install is only "temporary" I'm not trying to shorten the reboot times; I don't think the 150/s or so I'm getting is that bad anyway.

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.
