XP - 50% slower compilation with SP2

Compilation in C++ Builder 5.0 is about 50% slower with SP2.
SP1 - about 10min
SP2 - about 20min
Same machine (Celeron D 2.53GHz), same settings, firewall, antivirus -
turned off.
Do you have any idea why?

carlosso,

Just a hunch ... have you defragmented the HD after the installation of
SP2 ?

I tried to defragment - no change.

See if this brings back the speed...

First off, create a restore point:
Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore

Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, System
Click the "Hardware" tab
Click the "Device Manager" button
Click the + on "Processors"
Right-click your processor, select "Properties"
Click the "Driver" tab
Click the "Roll Back Driver" button and roll it back.
Reboot the computer

If you click the "Driver Details" button, you'll see that the driver is from the SP2 update.
It'll read something like: 5.1.2600.2180 (xp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) and
the driver's File Name will probably be: intelppm.sys
The processor's speed may also be displayed incorrectly.

NOTE: You won't get a choice when rolling it back, so just go with whatever it selects.
When you roll it back, Windows will probably complain about the driver not being certified, but
just continue anyway and restart when prompted.

After the reboot, the driver will now read something like: 5.1.2600.1142 (xpsp2.021108-1929) and
the driver's File Name will probably be: processr.sys
The processor's speed will also be displayed correctly now.

MAKE SURE YOU CREATE THE RESTORE POINT FIRST! (Just in case you want to go back, or something
goes wrong. You never know with MS...)

Thanks for an answer but it didn't help. No change in speed.

I tried compilation also on Athlon64 2800 machine. There is compilation (SP2
x SP1) 3 times slower.
SP1 - 150s
SP2 - 550s

("clear" instalation WinXP only with C++ Builder into the same partition
(SP2 installed and uninstalled),
all Sandra benchmarks have same results (SP2 x SP1)).
