    Hey here,

    I have finaly SSD, its Crucial M4 256GB. I noticed few interesting things!

    Windows 7 with all updates and SP1 is almost 2x slower in boot than the Windows 7 without the updates.

    Few recommendations that helped me:
    1) Uninstall KB971033 - it is update which check legality of your system and it slow down your system a lot....if you uninstall all updates excluding SP1, then you will get next -5 seconds to your boot time.
    2) Disable Windows loading animation: RUN->msconfig->boot->No GUI boot (checkbox on). It saved many seconds to me. Do not afraid, your system will not boot in command line :D
    3) Power management (power save) fixes do not improve your SSD performance! It just increase your tempreatures and fan is going to be active all the time. If you enable power saving mode and you run the disk benchmark, you will see lower scores, because it is in power save mode....BUT.......your PC (or laptop) do not need fast SSD if there are not difficult tasks! Your PC automaticaly switch back from save mode when there are a difficult tasks....so SSD is back as fast as possible.

    You can try run some game and run the benchmark also....you will see the fast speeds because your PC is not in power save mode.....So why are people using these JJB (..etc) fixes? I did not noticed any improvements by disabling power save mode. My boot time is still very well....it means, when OS startup, there is not power save mode active.


    I recommend this trial software (free for 30 days): GreenVantage LLC

    Can you test that WinBootInfo and publish your results?

    Thank you, here are mine (SP1, + about 5 aplication in boot) :

    or just run the sp1 cleaner, fixes all the performance losses you get from installing it. it's part of sp1.
    + the system internal boot defragmentation + idle job stuff. someone has a link in here.

    no need to turn off the boot animation and stuff, then, or messing around with settings at all.

    if you install SP1 directly(i.e. slipstreamed W7 with SP1), I don't think you need any cleaning. the 'cleaner' just remove pre-SP1 stuff that has been replaced by SP1.

    TNX. I have HP which always show when cleaning disk that I can delete over 500MB of updates but when I chose to delete it it doesn't. This is why I would like to try another way...
