[QUOTE="grubi, post: 370053, member: 52476"] [USER=64243]Lotsofjazz[/USER] Sorry but I have to disagree regarding superfetch. The problem is that it tries to load everything into ram which was used frequently in the past. A good thing in theory but in practise my experience is that it leads to heavy disk activity on reboot and reduce responsiveness of the OS during this phase. It leads to the fact that after some minutes often used programs are launched faster but it takes quite long until the machine reaches this state and acts without latency as expected. This is one of those typical examples where there is a difference beteween how things should behave in theory and what they are in the real world. Windows search was of course also switched off. What I still cannot explain are the latency problems encountered durning playback via SMB. The only conclusion I can draw at the moment is that real time capabilities of Vista are reduced compared to Win XP. Not sure what role exactly plays MMCSS service but it seems that it has impemented lately due to problems which arised regarding those problems (btw. turning it of does not cure the problem).
