(Microsoft) After you install Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), your programs may take as much as ten times as long to start. This problem may occur if the programs you run frequently allocate and deallocate large blocks of memory. Changes in Windows XP SP1 in the memory management system have caused this operation to take significantly longer than with pre-SP1 Windows XP. Unfortunatly, the patch will not be released to the general public until SP2. You can contact MS to ask for it though (details in the article).
