Windows slow boot due to gw.dat?
Just installed Vista and now have the very useful resource monitor.
I'd hoped that installing Vista on a new disk would speed up my booting time, however I noticed that it still takes a while. I loaded up the resource monitor (this shows processes, what files are using these processes and how much data transfer is occurring). Top of the data transfer list was a svchost.exe process that was connected to my gw.dat file. It would seem that during boot, this process reads up to 400Mb of data from gw.dat during booting. I don't know if this is some sort of verification process during boot, I'm not even sure why there is this link on startup. It would seem that svchost.exe is just used to run services listed in the registry. Any ideas? |
