Responsiveness of Windows XP is much faster than Windows 7

According to this video

http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Ay-gqx18UTM

and MY personal experience, the xp desktop responsiveness is so much faster and less glitchy than windows 7 (e.g. open services.msc and play with the window, you will see black borders).

You guys are going to solve this problem on Windows 8, to finally defeat xp in all aspects?

Original title: why Microsoft, why?

I have the same specification as Palcouk outside the video. Mine is a HD4250 integrated ATI and I get the black border.

It may be safe to pin this one on the video card and drivers reasonbly

Yes and also view the video uses Win 7, RTM, as in no current.

I use two operating systems on Dells reasonably comparable...  I would say that in my experience 7 is faster than XP and not at all what I would call "glitch."

  • Why disable SuperFetch on ssd, if the RAM is much faster than the ssd?

    Directed by Microsoft that SuperFetch and PreFetch must be disabled, if the OS is installed on an ssd, in accordance with article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2727880. But SuperFetch is used for loading the data components of applications, which were very often used for RAM. Although the ssd is faster that a hard drive is not faster than the RAM. So, I do not understand why Microsoft suggest disabling this feature. The only reason why I want to understand, it's because of a limited RAM. If the RAM is sufficient beyond 6 GB, if we disable SuperFetch, then the boot time and increase the loading time of most used applications. I miss something here?

    The other question is about PreFetch. I feel, maybe wrong, it does the same thing with SuperFetch, with one major difference. It loads all the information data on the ssd or hard drive, instead of the RAM, in order to accelerate the launch of applications and time when the OS is installed on a hard drive to boot. If I'm right, let's disable the PreFetch it stores information for one ssd or hdd, while SuperFetch stores data of RAM information, which is much faster and so it must be enabled if there is a sufficient RAM.

    I look forward to reading the notice of a Microsoft software engineer.

    Hi Leventis,

    Prefetch copies frequently accessed files together into a contiguous on the disk area so that they can be located and loaded more quickly. That it takes a lot of old drives to recover data faster.

    SuperFetch predict what applications you run next and preload all the necessary data in the memory. She has also done that with startup files. And for all the three days he sends a defragmentation command to the OS drive that will cause problems in the SSD drives.

    In traditional hard drives (HDD) data are scattered throughout the disk, so that the operating system for access, it will take more time. It is suggested to perform a disk defragmentation. But storage technology is different in SSD, where, it records the data dynamically and it recovers more quickly. Who will be low down the burden on the RAM and the RAM can be used for uses such as for the opening of the games graphics high-end, etc..

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Fonts: Selfhosting or Google much faster than Typekit/Edge?

    It is much faster font free host or use Google instead of Typkit fonts?

    I did a test by myself: my website http://DAS-werbeatelier.de now (since yesterday) use "Lato" Edge-Webfont.

    I m sure, this isn't the right way to test, but I took 'Google Page speed Insight' with a result of 47 (mobile) (bad) and 58 (desktop).

    Before yesterday the same website also used Lato - but as police auto-hébergées on my server.

    The result of speed Page was: 51 (mobile) and 64 (desktop).

    That's a significant difference - and it seems to be known.

    https://www.keycdn.com/blog/Web-font-performance/Bildschirmfoto 2016-08-03 um 08.18.16.JPG

    If this can be true? This means that, if you want a really fast site (-muse), Don t use Typekit oder Edge-Fonts?

    On the other hand, it is very convenient to use Typekit/Edge with Adobe Muse...

    I understand. 2 seconds "before opening" kill really!

    Have you tried to pass on the new option I mentioned above?

  • T500 T8700 processor work much faster than on the current of a battery!

    My colleagues and I are having a very annoying problem with our thinkpad t500 (approximately 200 laptops or more). the problem is that the CPU is intel core 2 duo T8700 2.53 ghz works only with 1.6 ghz speed on idle and load the State with alternating current and never jump higher than speed and jumps only to 2.53 ghz speed if and only if the battery is connected to the laptop, the laptop is faster using the battery that is strange indeed.

    My own opinion on this issue, it is that it is a bug in the bios that is the switching in a different way processor modes (processor with power supply ofc should be faster than with battery) I've already updated my bios of the laptop to 3.09 version, but always without success. The serial number of my laptop is "*".

    I hope that fix you this very soon.

    Moderator edit: number masked to prevent improper use.

    Hi mtaher and welcome to the Lenovo user community!

    Connected to a 65W power adapter, the T500 is relies on the battery to power during peak load. If you remove the battery, he's choking back the CPU at a level that the 65W adapter can handle alone. It probably won't happen if you use a 90W Adapter (I don't have anyone around to test - maybe someone can confirm).

    The research community and you will find this discussed many times - that's the behavior designed most of the models.

  • Clean install of Windows a lot faster than the preinstalled system?

    My satallite comes with windows 64-bit installed.
    Since a lot of people suggested, here and elsehwere, a clean installation making consierably faster than the pre-installed windows (all bloated and unwanted software uninstalled with the uninstall program).

    Although fresh installtion was faster without drivers and programs, it has become more or less the same after installation of all software, etc. (perhaps a difference of 2 to 4% in the use of RAM) (over 4 GB)

    Is this normal or do others go much faster on any new install, for me, this effort has proved there is not a lot of use to do a clean install to drive retail.

    Ideas, wiers and feed back?

    See you soon

    Many pre-installed utilities are required for correct functionality and it can be a headache get these functions to work after installing a street copy of Windows.

    You will find that when you install Antivirus software on a street copy of Windows, it will happen similar to the pre-installed Windows installation. So if you want that the installation of Windows pre-installed perform better, uninstall the Antivirus should do the trick.

  • faster than El Capitan Windows 10

    Hello

    I have a 13 "mid-2013 Macbook Air 128SSD / 8 GB/Intel i5.

    I tried the two El Capitan and Windows (via Bootcamp) 10 and Windows runs faster than Mac for a reason any.

    Launching applications faster and overall, it feels snappier and more responsive.

    How is it possible that Windows can run faster on my Macbook as the own Apple operating system?

    Systems running different programs using different device drivers. 'Feel' is a very subjective measure. My windows running in Boot Camp "feels" faster than Windows running on a Windows PC. My El Capitan "feels" faster than my Windows running in Boot Camp 10.

  • attachment in Windows Mail pictures show much larger than actual size

    Photos (not word files) attached to emails in Windows mail appear in the text of the e-mail message in my box of mailing or the Inbox, much larger than the actual size of the image.  I would like that they wait until I open the attachment in its appropriate program.

    This is by design, and they are great because they need to be resized before sending.

    The only way to not see the images once the text of the message to read all messages in plain text.

  • Games run too fast! (Faster than normal around 1.5 x)

    Hey I have problems playing games since the installation of W7.

    I tried only two games, which is Half Life: counter-strike 1.6 through Steam and Batman Arkham Asylum.
    From what I see, I shoot and walk faster in CS 1.6, when I play on my own. But when I join a server on Steam, I go fast, Yes, and then I will be stuck (I guess because the server will try to match my speed with others)
    In Batman: AA, I was comparing Youtube videos with my game and found that my Batman works faster than in the videos.

    It could well be your network drivers.  Even if you later, sometimes people writing the drivers need to improve for questions like yours that described and so you should keep a watch last updated driver.  On my laptop, for example, constantly Dell publishes new drivers for it that problems are discovered and updated correctly to handle Windows 7.  While it works great, they discover problems that may affect performance.

    Have you read anything in the counter-strike forums about anyone else having a similar problem?

    I have the volume to the maximum one time and even raised the gain on the software instrument "Piano Steinway tail" and still barely, I could hear a noise...

    Please help me I have no other solution... IV ' e tasted its best thanks to a computer keyboard dang, how is this possible?

  • Guest WiFi network much slower than normal on the network

    Speedtests leave a device attached to the 5 GHz wireless guest network are much slower than when the same device is connected to the normal 5 GHz WiFi.

    I measured reproducible all about 7ms 18/10 down on the network of comments and 1ms 320/250 Mbps on the normal network. Same place, same camera, same speedtest app, same test server.

    Similar results of multiple devices (laptop, Windows, iPhone 6 s). No change after a reboot. QoS is off. Firmware is 1.0.6.28_1.1.83.

    What could be the reason? I don't think that I had the same problems a few months ago, but I has not changed settings since then, except for the upgrade of the firmware when a new version appeared.

    Thanks for your advice.

    that version was pulled and pulling FW rarely happens... back having previously worked FW

  • Is faster than the HP Mini 110 Microsoft Surface?

    My HP Mini 110 series netbook is SLOW and it is 2 years old and the Microsoft Surface seems newer, but I want to know if the Microsoft Surface would go faster (for example, loading programs and files, etc.)

    The HP Mini 110 has an Intel Atom processor and the Microsoft Surface has an ARM processor.

    The Microsoft Surface would be faster than the HP Mini 110?

    It must be such that it is a newer CPU, but until the Surface is in the hands of consumers, we do not have really the real world benchmarks. I am 100% sure that whatever that is released by Microsoft or others would show much faster and better in all aspects. But these are marketing people making conversation, not technicians running the real numbers.

  • HOW MUCH FASTER?

    Closer (if possible) percentages, please advise or just give me a rough idea: HOW MUCH FASTER IS WIFI at a SPEED of 18 Mbit/s and the QUALITY of the SIGNAL VERY GOOD (four out of five bars) compared to 18 MB/s SPEED and QUALITY of the EXCELLENT SIGNAL (5 bars).  I noticed fluctuations in continuous - even up to as high 54 Mbps and as low as 11 Mbps, but the signal is mainly around VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT in quality (i.e., four or five green bars) Notwithstanding the comings and goings, I use the WIFI N Protocol adapter (library, cafes hotspot, etc.).  Yes, sometimes, I moved to another part of the library, coffee, etc., but if not I can try improve the quality of signal and speed? The laptop is enough recent manufacturing (2009 or 2010), with 3G of RAM and 300 G hard drive and Windows VISTA.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    It is likely to be only differences of minimum speed in these scenarios, if she would have certainly depends on
    the WiFi network that you accessed. Even if the WiFi signal you receive hard there may be a slow
    hose connecting WiFi to internet and/or a large number of computers sharing access.

    I hope this helps.

  • Development of 2d - performance (much slower than 9000 9500) games


    Not really a player, I don't think it will be very useful, and it's entirely anecdotal, so I would not base your decisions on that, but maybe this will help you.

    Regarding the "power" of the various models of Blackberry, you could search the Internet, looking for the processor that is used as an indicator of the power.  BBs of Java didn't have (at least as I understand it) a graphics processor, then all the image processing is done on the main processor.

    You will find if you look at this page:

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Bold

    that the 9000 has a 624 MHz Marvell Tavor PXA930, while you are looking for here:

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Storm

    your Storm has a dual core CPU 400 MHz and ARM9 274 MHz ARM11

    Using the cycles in comparison, it would mean for me during the development of a game, it'll be quicker on the 9000 the storm, because I believe that the treatment of Java is in fact all is done on a single processor, if your painting will be restricted to the 400 Mhz on the storm.

    My experience is "BOLD" seems faster than the storm in general, but I actually always put that down to the bigger screen being slower to draw.

    In terms of processing power, the phone slower that I think you could develop to is in fact the storm, but actually I would not develop for it.  It has a system with a somewhat strange interface because of the screen push.  I would ignore this device and just concentrate on OS 5.0 devices.  To this end, the slower device is probably the Blackberry Curve 8520, with a 512 MHz processor.  I would get one of these for your tests.  Also, the (screen size, keyboard) form factor is shared by a large number of other phones.

    In general terms, my brief experience with treatment of the game showed me that if you want your game to go fast, be updated too little screen that you can.  So use 'regions' in your paint method to specify exactly which pieces on the screen should be updated.  In my tests, I tried to have a cursor to move around the screen using the trackpad.  If I moved the slider and then redisplays the whole screen, the performance has been extremely slow.  But if I just painted on the slider of the region it's in, and he painted in the apartment that he had moved, I got a slider action much, much more flexible.
