Windows Sucks (Down the Performance of Dual-Core PCs)
So it turns out that Microsoft has a problem with Dual Cores. Now, to my mind that means there’s a slowdown on Multiproc boxes as well… but that could be wrong. Although why you’d treat them differently is beyond me.
Anyway, the article’s got some links to “hotfixes” and an apparent voodoo dance you Windows folks do to improve performance. “Spyware” was mentioned in there a few times.
And what’s up with that author? He sounds like he’s trying to mimic some kind of illusory cyber-street lingo. Notice the intentional abuse of “teh”. Makes it sound like there should be a “girlfriend” in there somewhere, just to cover all the potential lingo bases.
