RC slower than the Beta?


Recommended Posts

....but the annoying stutter as you hit the 'close' button on a glass window is still there.

Hmmm. Never seen that before.

With those spec's, I doubt you would. Probably an issue with lower-end/older graphics cards or processors.

The thing that most people don't take into consideration is that sometimes fixing bugs does slow things down. And fixing a bug may result in another bug that will also need fixing and so on. And this happens more often than people realize.

I doubt that all that debugging code in the beta has even 1% penalty performance penalty in benchmarks and in applications.

I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but if you just installed the RC after having the beta installed for a while, it'll have to learn which applications you run often to determine what to prefetch. After a week it should be just as speedy.
This is great insight. That would be easy to miss/not think about on a clean install.

7100 x64 was definately much slower than 7000 x86.

I will probably have to try the RC in Virtual PC instead of VMware.

Of course it runs much slower in a virtual machine. Here's a novel idea - how about actually installing it? ;)

There is no way in the world that build 7000 is faster then 7100RC, While installing and using 7100 it shites over 7000 with Performance and Stability.

Urm - before we start getting all sarky, they were both installed under a virtual machine. ;) So its a completely fair test.

It's true. After rebooting Windows a few times since its initial install you'll find its quicker to start up and shutdown, literally in the region of many seconds. This has been the case since Windows XP was introduced.
