Windows Microsft has made hard statements about perfomance improvements in Longhorn. They claim that applications will load 15% faster than in XP, while boot time is decreased by 50%. They also claimed that Longhorn will be able to wake up from sleep in 2 seconds. Users should also expect half as many reboots during patching. Time to dust of those trustworthy stopwatches.

On every system I've installed SuSE Linux Professional on I've timed faster boot to log-in screen than on identical systems running Windows XP Professional w/SP2 installed. The performance and stability has improved with each release. In your case you should check to see you don't have any errors displayed in the system log or unnecessary services running which can impact performance.

Exactly,besides i have a RAID0+1 configuration (boot raid1,the rest raid0) things run even faster on SuSE (any Linux).Eg: it takes oowrite < 2 sec to to be ready when i click the icon.
