I recently changed from Live to Windows when Eden became available. Since then I have had nothing but issues with a lagging response time from the remote to when XBMC responds. Not knowing if this was an issue with Eden, I installed Dharma on my Win7 machine, and have had the same issues...
Please understand that this is not a lag in loading fanart (for example) but a distinct lag in reponse in switching movie to movie, menu to menu, as though someting in the background is chewing up resources.
So it's Microsoft's problem... That sounds familiar.
In the task manager, I have never seen my CPU utilization creep above 42%
I have a base Win7 Premium installation. In msconfig, I have selectively disabled all startup apps other than XBMC. I have not affected any services.
So, this is a cry for help. What can I do to increase the responsivity of my system, decrease the unnecessary Microsoft BS and leave unchanged the Wife-usablity of the HTPC.
Thanks
