Title: Soluto - Improve Boot time / performance
Post by: Roph on January 26, 2011, 05:05:46 AM
A neat little thing I found recently. You basically install it and then reboot. On the next boot, it notes everything that ran during the boot, as well as times how long each one took. It then offers help on trimming or delaying certain items that you either don't need at all, or don't need right away.

A neat feature is the delay option. I don't need to be messing about with audio settings as soon as I start up, so I've delayed it. It simply starts up later, when you're idle.

For the recommendations, it's basically crowd sourced. It shows you what other people did and what the general opinion is of a certain item.

Neato ;o

Seems ok, but isn't it counter-productive? I mean, you can already choose what programs begin on start-up. Isn't this just adding another program to that list?

You just run it once, for it to time everything. It doesn't run again after that unless you ask it to.

It also goes after services and the like. A lot more than you'll see in the msconfig startup list.
