vista 30 seconds slow after installing vs2008

after installing visual studio 2008, it takes 20-30 more seconds for the
windows orb to come after the progress is shown at boot. A black screen with
a busy cursor is shown for 20 seconds and then the orb comes.
The Visual Studio 2008 is installed without the SQL express option. Any
suggestions? Otherwise I have to trash vista and move to xp sp2.

1 GB RAM, Vista Business

Turn off the Aero theme and it will boot better (not to mention compile
speed). 1 gig is a bit small for Vista Aero and V.S. Giving up the Vista
test bed for your apps is not really a good alternative.

The Vista aero is already turned off (by disabling the theme service).
I am telling about the 20-30 second slowdown after installing Visual Studio
2008

I have VS 2008 installed. I also have 2gb of ram. I also have no slow down
problems concerning Vista running VS 2008, and aero is on too on this
laptop.

Since your time is so valuable and 20 seconds is a penalty you can't afford,
why shut down at all? Sleep mode on my system wakes up with a functional
wireless connection in less than 15 seconds.

I agree with the other poster in that you should review Vista's and VS2008's
requirements in regard to memory, CPU, etc. Or go to XP while it is still
supported. SP3 will make it even better.

Just thought of something else while reading another post: ReadyBoost!
