Thomas XP Service Pack Slows Programs Posted on Friday March 28, @10:19PM @ http://slashdot.org/articles/03/03/28/2220247.shtml?tid=201 from the strange-definition-of-fix dept. AEton writes "Vnunet and others are reporting that Windows XP's Service Pack 1 has introduced a flaw into the operating system. Changes to memory handling code result in programs which often allocate memory (which is many of them) can take up to ten times longer than normal to start. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem in Q815411, and while a patch is available by request from Microsoft Product Services, it will not be widely released until Service Pack 2." ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
