The time to open a Word document on my (old) notebook
increases from 1s to 5s when real time protection is
active.
Is that usual ?

No it is not, but enough people see this that I've been calling it a bug.
Here are a couple of thoughts that I have.
You can disable real-time protection, if you wish. The method to follow is
detailed in the workaround section of this KB document:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892375 End users may be prompted to allow or
block administrative actions that originate from a central management tool
after they install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on a computer that is managed
by Systems Management Server 2003
However, before you do that, I'd be interested in a couple of things, if you
are willing:
1) If you go to Tools, Advanced tools, system explorers, then look down the
left column to System, Shell Execute Hooks. If you click on that, do you
see more than two hooks in the result? I have URL Exec Hook (which is basic
to the Windows Shell), and Microsoft.AntiSpyware etc etc.
If you have more than those two, what are the others, including their
locations, if possible.
Could you also try going to Control Panel, add or remove programs, Microsoft
Antispyware, change, update?
I did it, no change in behaviour. To be on safe side, I
compared the times necessary for opening *.doc immediately
after fresh boot with same file, once with real-time
protection and ones without: Still a diiference of about
5s.
No, I did not use .509. But after explicit download-----Original Message-----

OK--Sounds like it really is something about the hook code that causes this
pause on some machines. I was hoping that there would turn out to be
something else in place that was adding to the mix, but if there is, we
haven't spotted it.
I've no way to know whether Microsoft has seen this one or not.
I didn't remember to ask you to be sure that you've upgraded to the .509
build, available by downloading again, did I?
They mention performance as something that has changed between the builds,
but I'll be surprised if that does the job.
SO I am wondering, whether it is really only "on some
machines". I have almost the same apps on both machines,
though.
No, I did not use .509. But after explicit download
(wondering, why no automatic update) still no difference.
But another observation: The difference is speed opening a
*.doc is only obvious, in case I use a double-click in
Explorer on the *.doc filename.
In case, I start Word.exe explicitly first, this start is
as fast as usual, (I am using W2k and Office 2000) and
then open the same document from the recently-used file
list, no delay.
So it looks like, it is not the opening of the file *.doc
itself, which is slowed down, but it is already the launch
of Word.exe itself from Explorer or eaven earlier in the
chain.
Same behaviour applies to Excel, of course.
And I have it on two machines, my notebook, and a desktop.
