    i think it slows my computer a very small amount, but i have an awful computer. if you have just installed SP2 you may need to defrag :)

    Startup and shutdown seem to take a little longer now, probably because of more services running, but otherwise I haven't noticed any difference.

    I experianced a slight increase in my performance, even though I installed it onto my current system which had all the updates and previous Service Pack. I have not experianced one bad thing yet.

    I can also highly recommend X-Setup Pro with which you can change a lot of settings to increase your performance and also get rid of some annoyances.

    My system is working fine with SP2 plus I feel it optimises the services a lot better than SP1 did (I certainly don't notice any slow down) I am running XP Pro SP2 - even my laptop is working very well with SP2 installed. Any 'teething' problems I had were sorted by re-configuring my services some of which I had disabled with SP1 needed to be enabled :rolleyes:
