    ^^^^ Yup, i swiped Smitten’s script myself this morning for the Windows 7 desktop (Home build, my spec), that is powerful enough to run all my DJ and music apps whilst surfing , converting files , torrenting and god knows what else at the same time..
    I cant say i noticed a difference on that beast but i am sure i will on the laptop..
    It only seems to be on the laptops running 7 only where i have had issues with Traktor Virtual DJ and ASIO so i dual boot these now as a matter of course as soon as i buy a new one

    Glad you liked he article guys! Much much more to come….

    The results that people experience do seem to vary wildly. For some people it has made an enormous difference and to others there is no noticeable improvement. The script stops a bucket of services but if those services aren’t running on your machine to begin with, you won’t see much difference. If your machine has 101 different apps and tools that have been thrown on over the months and years then you’ll see a good deal of improvement. There also seem to be some Windows services that are more evasive than others. I simply haven’t had the time to test each one out and analyze their impact. All in all, with countless hardware configurations and the variety of programs people run these days, it’s going to be hit and miss. Hopefully people will take the script as a starting point and then add other services to it. If you spent a little time looking at what your system was running and then added those non crucial services to the script, you would see an improvement again.

    The only part of the script that may need modifying is the a/v lines. to say, avira, macafee, nortons(shudder). I use microsoft sec essentials for instance (it is actually okay believe it or not)!

    My optimization and preparation consists of powering up my laptop and opening Traktor. 😎

    I’m surprised it took this long for that comment to pop up.

    I tried very, very hard to resist 🙂

    I have always done exactly the same with my 5-year-old budget Sony Vaio and Virtual DJ. Open clamshell, turn on, plug in sound card, go.

    Seems people have widely differing experiences and need for optimisation.

    A good percentage of the issues seem to be coming from S4.
