  1. Next to too many startup processes, the biggest reason for Windows slowdowns I've found is the paging file management system. It fragments a hard drive to oblivion, the paging file cannot be defragged by normal means and so the hard drive cannot ever be fully organized and optimized. This should be less of an issue with SSD's becoming more common since they access memory like RAM, rather than a spinning platter with an arm that functions best when the data must be logically organized for that system for optimization.
