Some lags with Menu & Favorites
Using XP Pro, 512MB DDR. Menu Delay set to 0, but somehow I feel the computer is slow displaying the menu or favorites. I know my Favorites are quite complex with possibly 1000 links arranged in a many folders and sub-folders, but it's still too slow compared to Win98SE with the same Favorites structure.

Win98SE can display any folder/subfolders and its contents in a snap without delay, but XP seems to suffer a lag when it's about to display a subfolder or its contents, as if they need to be retrieved from harddisk all the time.
I admit I've tweaked XP's Services. Could this be caused by some services being disabled ? I've tried to enable all services, but it does not solve the problem.
I doubt if this is because of the software modem I use because it also happens even when offline. CPU usage doesn't show a problem either, only around 5-6%.
Anyone can give me advice ?

When I have 32-bit color on the desktop or JPG image as the backdrop I get lag because the menu fade effect takes longer to render in 32-bit, well for me anyway, everything is snappy in 16-bit. As for the JPG image its like ActiveDesktop enabled for 9x/2K, switch to a bitmap image or change your current one into BMP format.
I always turned off fade effects, and all other effects. I'm using pure classic mode. I think it must be something else.
Do you guys at least feel this lag when you browse favorites or menu ?
Do you feel it any slower compared to Win98SE ?
