It doesn't matter what you do on an OS, the company
that makes the OS will find a way of slowing it down.

As the owner of a monster machine, you should be noticing this.
That the expensive hardware you bought, the OS people absolutely
refuse to use it.

Just about anything Windows does, could be done with a six core CPU.
The Microsoft people will not use more than about three cores. If
you buy a sixteen core CPU, they still only use three cores. What
a CPU with a lot of cores can do, is it can do something fast for *you*,
but it isn't allowed to do anything fast for the OS. Windows Defender
doesn't use 16 cores. Windows Update doesn't use 16 cores.

In fact, Windows Update *slows down on purpose*. Did you know that ?
Watch it sometimes. It drives me nuts when I see that.

The other day, I tried to make a Windows installer DVD using DISM,
and I used "compression:none" in the invocation. I did a test install
using my new media. Guess what ? It was still compressed :-( And
running like molasses in spring.

These people at Microsoft are just rat bastards.
