Wondering if others note that Windows 8 is slower to fully load than is Windows 7 . It reaches the Desktop in approx the same time, but isn't usable for another 10' or so. I7 2600K CPU on a ASUS P8P67le MB
Multitasking also is very sluggish, when compared with its predecessor O/S. When downloads or updates are being made in the background, actions - such as loading an app - are slowed considerably.
It makes no difference whether "optimal performance" is set for programs or background services. The "visual effects" defaults are used. This is a very clean system - no malware or the like - and it runs but a few startup programs.
Once the O/S has fully loaded, and when it is not consumed by BG tasks, it is comparable in speed to Windows 7.
