Speed up your PC’s boot time
June 21, 2010Interesting beta program written up in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/20/business/20novel.html?th&emc=th
Install and reboot Soluto, and it tells you how long it takes your PC to boot, provides a list of “no brainer” programs you don’t need on boot, and a list of programs where you have the option not to install on boot or install later during CPU idle time. A third category lists programs you can’t stop from installing on boot including (interestingly enough) this program.
I cut 30-40 seconds off my boot time, although this does not include the inordinate amount of time my laptop requires before it decides to boot in the first place. Don’t know what would happen if I uninstalled Soluto.
