I have a computer with XP home edition which is used as a server for some
infrequently used home control routines (they present a very low demand on
the computer) and is always running. When I first try to use the computer
after a period of inactivity, everything is extremely slow. For example,
merely bringing one window to the front over another window might take 15
seconds. After 30 seconds or so everything runs at pretty much normal speed.
I have my power options set so the hard disk is never powered down,
hibernation is disabled, and anything else like a sleep mode is dsiabled that
I know about.
I do have Norton Internet Security, but I do on other compueters as well,
but they are not nearly as slow on returning to activity.
Any suggestions?
