Superfetch and disk activity at start up

Sun, 2007-04-01 20:29 - Topics:

Does any one know why superfetch causes a lot of disk activities at start up? (30+ seconds on my 7200rpm hard disk)
I watched file accesses with procmon and it seems "svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted" scans every file under c:\windows at vista start up and thus causes the excessive disk activity
Now I've disabled superfetch and readyboost and no longer have the sympton. I'm just curious why superfetch has to do this intolerable thing at start up. Can't it cache information rather than scan at every boot?

Vista ReadyBoost, SuperFetch and ReadyDrive

Having posted questions about ReadyBoost myself, I was glad to find this info on a Microsift website. At this link, http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/sysperf/perfaccel.mspx, you'll find the info in a Word Doc download linked to in the upper right corner of the page. I hope you all find it as intresting and informitive as I did about these new features of Vista.
