XP sp3 and disk intensive tasks

Nov 1st, 2008

After updating to XP service pack 3 from service pack 2

i was just wondering whether anyone noticed a longer time to complete hard disk drive intensive tasks such as manually launched full system anti-virus scans?

My systems rate of of work done for this type of task decreased by about 25%

there could be other factors that relate to my system only , that is why i am interested in other system owner's experiences.

regards from tigerbright

Nope, i didn't find much changes in performance...works fine for me as of now...feels a bit secure as compared to SP2

No. XP SP3 didnt make any changes to that part of the system. It was just a rollup of all the post SP2 hotfixes and updates + one new bit of networing technology and some changes to the installer.

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
