I was expecting that Vista's slow performance during startup, logon and
resume from suspend would be improved after SP1. After all I noticed that
there is no difference at all even after SP1. Even with the latest
processor, 2 GB ram, on the highest end HP laptop, vista takes 3 times
longer than XP with an older computer, slower processor and less ram. Are
there any expectations for the future for performance?

i think you need to disable the start-up programs on the MSCONFIG

Thanks a lot.

Although I already had most of those settings, by completing the rest of
them, especially disabling indexing and fast shutdown (I don't know if this
is good though), I have seen great improvement in most situations except
from startup time. Startup is exactly the same but I have seen great
improvement in shutdown, logoff/logon, and a slide improvement in sleep
time.

If you havnt done it yet do yourself a big favor and go into the " Control
Panel " to " Programs and Features " and DELETE everything that says HP on
it. YOU DONT REALLY NEED ANY OF IT !!! HP like all Computer manufactures put
a TON of Bloatware and useless programs on thier machines ( for some reason
it seems especially laptops ) I also have a top end HP laptop and it was
doing the same thing slow as hell and took forever to boot, I uninstalled
all the HP crap and all the other useless proggys they installed it sped up
my laptop emensley it now takes less than 45 seconds from button to ready to
go instead of the 2 or 3 minutes it used to take
