I'm wondering if you had any services disabled? Maybe the problem was
with something that you weren't running?
In order to tweak performance, I sometimes disable services that I
know I don't need. Lately, it seems like I use all services - none are
disabled except for a few non-microsoft services that I know I don't
want. There are a good number are set to manual.
