A new machine, have Mozilla browser installed...Find the start up considerably slower than the E5-571 series which is slightly more expensive. Problem: there is a startup program that drags the whole process. It takes minutes. I have done the following; catagorize any start-up non important task as low priority; McAfee has a bad habit (like AVast!) of immediately hounding the HD at 100% occupancy. Disabled scan on start up.
Disabling immediate Scan at startup and even disabling AV doesn't solve the issue. Examining the task manager, there is a host program that is initiated. What is it ? It takes just as long on start up with the LAN disconnected, so I presume the procesessor continues with the resident programs.
Even with Hardware acceleration on/off doesn't make any difference. Done the simplest things.
Have I bought a laggard with a slower processor; or has anyone else had sim behaviour ? The E5-571 series was darned quicker.
