May07 Security Patches Slowed boot down 10x
 

What did Microsoft do to my system? Before the last batch of security patches, I use to be able to go from power-up to password entry in about 30 seconds.

After installing the security patches from earlier this week (Tuesday), it now takes 5 minutes from power-up to password entry. That's an increase of 10-old! This is with the Ultimate edition of Vista on a Velocity Micro Promagix E2215.

Well, after two days of painfully slow boot times, the next day it returned to normal, about 30 seconds to the password screen from power-up. Can't explain it. Didn't drop back to a restore point.
