Super long startup is bugging me

[GSH]

No, it's not rates. It's "how much since last time." It can't ever be negative. For example, consider this case:

Time 0: 50Kb read
Time 1: 50Kb read
Time 2: 100Kb read
Time 3: 100Kb read

That's the raw amount read, and would show up in the I/O Read Bytes column. But, the delta column would look like this:

Time 0: 0
Time 1: 0
Time 2: 50Kb read
Time 3: 0

As I said, it's how much has changed in the absolute number since it last displayed the count. Most apps that are just sitting there have 0 for I/O delta read/writes. Apps that are hitting your disk have values over 0.

How long have you had the user account for? It might be easier just to delete the user and create another one -- depending on how you have your files set up and such. On my brother's lappy, he just painlessly makes a new user every couple months.

EDIT: spelling.

WHY? Its fairly easy to manage your user to keep it clean and tidy.

for precisely this reason: you get things like fun startup times and jaunx.

If you don't figure out what it is in your user account causing the issue, you are likely doomed to repeat. And the issue could still be in the global startup routines which would not be solved by creating a new user/profile.

I have tried that... it takes AGES and I would have to do it for all four users.

Do you use BZLognLaunch?  I find that when I have big log, it takes a long time to move it.

True -- unless its something you did once and then forgot about, never to do again.

i seem to develop one problem with windos platforms of any kind after a few months, and that is an svchost.exe process hogging all my cpu time for about half-an-hour.

i recently defragged my Laptop harddisk. i wonder if itll help much at next bootup...

[sabrebattletank]

i seem to get this mysterious "explorer.exe" task and "system idle process" taking up all my jaunx...


hmmmm...
