Re: Why would Vista be so slow?

I would check into the motherboard BIOS settings. A 1200 dpi full page scan would be over 385 megabytes of data transfer over USB. Three minutes would be about the right range for USB2 but 60 minutes is more like USB1 speeds. That could be due to a USB setting in BIOS or trying to send the scan data through a USB1 hub. I would expect CD burning speeds to be determined the burning software but it is possible that DMA transfers have not been enabled in the BIOS settings for harddrives and or optical drives. PIO transfer modes are a lot slower than DMA/UltraDMA transfers.
Couldn't hurt to take a second look at bus/cpu clock speeds too.

I am concerned about two specific operations which are extremely slow.
1. I went to burn a Utility CD with about 200 MB of tools and applications.
On my old XP Pro system this took about 10 minutes from start to finish. On
my new super-fast Vista Ultimate system, Foxconn A7DA-S MB / AMD Quad Core
950 Phenom / 4 GB RAM / SATA DVD - CD Burner, the same CD Burn took over 40
minutes.
2. My Canon Scanner would scan a full color page at 1200 dpi in about 3
minutes. The same operation, with the new Vista driver, takes almost 60
minutes.
Is there something I could have missed in the Vista set-up? This is not a
pleasent situation.
Thanks
