Is this an undocumented solution to improving Vista performance problems?

For months, my nine month old Toshiba laptop running Vista Home Premium has been going downhill. Running slower, low memory errors, can’t easily shutdown or logoff. Typical Windows degradation.

To jigger the new memory error, I opened Control Panel-System-Advanced System Settings-Advanced-Performance Settings. Then I chose Adjust for Best Performance, in place of Let Windows Choose. Which turned off all the Custom Features. Rebooted.

No difference in the memory errors, so I opened the same program and went back to Let Windows Choose. Rebooted.

Bam, my system works like new. All the above mentioned problems have disappeared! Tried the same fix on my wife’s older Visa Home Premium laptop. She says it runs better too!!

Is this common knowledge or have I stumbled onto something here?

You may have stumbled on something. I just tried it and it cut in half the time my Vista system takes to boot up completely. Very interesting and I can't find any reference to this anywhere!
