Interestingly on all the XP machines I have, if I leave the machine staring at the desktop for 30mins or longer. When I come back I have a 10-30 second wake up delay whereby XP takes its time to get working up to speed. Of course with XP as complicated as it is, who in their right mind would begrudge it from having a little sleep whilst it's waiting for your return? bless its little cotton socks!

No stupid! It makes your harddrive WORK faster, you gotta give these new harddrives a good exercise to brush away the cobwebs pushing around those 8gigs of bloat whilst your PC is turned on. We can't let next generation hardware and storage space become too large/fast now can we?
