BananaMan Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Report your success or failure with bootvis, with your basic specs! I did it today, I got a 21.80 second boot time down to 18.03. Nothing to write home about, but faster nonetheless. Specs: Pentium III 866Mhz 320mg RAM @ PC133 P.O.S. Radeon SDR 32 mg 7200rpm Quantum Fireball 32 gig HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 I just got XP so I've only used the newer one. 15.5 sec for boot which is really amazing cuz when I was using Win9x it was slow as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobsgrg Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I've used bootivs but it didn't speed up my boot-time, it still takes the best part of a minute to load up :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Ive always wondered when people quote boot times is that from a soft boot or power on or reset, what? there will be quite a lot of difference with power on doing memory test etc?? When u reply ill post my times thanks Kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikimotel Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Pagefile Defrag (www.sysinternals.com) and normal Defrag helps more than bootvis in getting your computer to boot faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobsgrg Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Bootvis records the bootup time for a reboot but the time difference for a reboot and a cold boot is marginal at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Zollo Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 From power on to logon my computer takes approx 29-30 seconds to boot. I'd like to know how MxxCon got 13 seconds :s! That's mad fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 ya, my times are what bootvis is quoting. for POST boot add about 10sec. i did nothing special just trace+driver delay and then optimize... in startup i have ONLY norton antivirus, dynsite dns, hidden menu and shortcut to start dsl connection. no bloated realplayer, winamp agent, aim/icq/msn/other crap and also disabled/manual all unneeded services like norton speeddisk, smart card, other crap i don't remember right now:) oh ya and i also enabled autologin in tweakui..i don't know if bootvis include time it takes to type in password and login..

suprfli Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 i used bootvis and got the nice looking graphs but what do i do beyond that? i see disk i/o, driver delays, boot activity, cpu usage...what do i do w/this information? :s it doesn't give me real details in order to tweak anything. what can i do w/this? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
