The only reason why its faster is they added a superfetch feature to the prefetcher. If you look at the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\Prefetcher
you will notice in windows xp
EnablePrefetcher = 3 and you will notice in windows longhorn
EnableSuperfetch = 1
Well, guess what? You can put the EnableSuperfetch = 1 in windows xp and get the same speed.
Wow, Microsoft just added a feature that was already there in xp.

I did it, I guessed and added the "enablesuperfetch" as a "DWORD"

It does work :)
I wonder how it plays with PC's at the lower end of the WinXP spectrum speedwise.

Nice, but have you noticed an increase in your launch and shut down time?

A few seconds at most, but everybit helps IMHO.

I noticed a slight speedup on boot/shutdown. Speedup on loading IE (work apps require), bit slower on FF (but was 1st boot of 1.0.6).
Then again this PC booted like lighting before the regkey due to nothing installed but (work)base image, google earth, FF.
