Notebooks running slower with Windows XP Service Pack 2?
| |
Posted on Monday, September 20 2004 @ 00:12:19 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck |
Mobile PC benchmarked 10 different notebooks to test their performance in Windows XP SP2. Their verdict is that in almost all of their benchmarks SP2 scored slower than Windows XP SP1.
Slower, anyway. Among the 10 systems, SP2 resulted in a performance hit of 3 to 22 percent on eight of the 10 machines. Granted, two saw small performance increases, but the average decrease in performance was a whopping 9 percent. (All tests are based on Sysmark 2002's Business Productivity test.)
We asked Microsoft if it was aware that there was a performance issue after upgrading to SP2, a spokesperson replied that Microsoft "takes all feedback on the performance of Windows XP SP2 seriously. At this time we are not aware of performance degradation on PCs running Windows XP SP2." That's funny, we thought we just told them that there was a performance problem. Watch for a thorough examination of SP2 performance in an upcoming issue of Mobile PC.
Too bad that they haven't tested SP2 yet with any other benchmark software.
