BootVis -> Registry+PageFile delay -> should I be mad at this???

[Space Boogie]

I ran BootVis a couple times. Turns out that the Registry+Pagefile portion of my boot process is taking 16 seconds. Is this normal? A friend of mine told me that this process should only be taking a few seconds on my machine. If thats the case, I would LOVE to shave off some time from this step so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Here is a portion of my system:
AMD Athlon 1.4GHZ CPU
256M micron ram (was 512M but one of my sticks went bad. should have the replacement in a couple days so it will be 512M again)
C: is my boot drive, no pagefile
D: is an ibm 7200rpm 60gig drive, pagefile (min. size =128M, max. size - 512M)
E: no pagefile

I don't know about boot time for your system, but I'd change the paging file. See this post:

So nobody has any suggestions about how to speed up the Registry+Pagefile (called by BootVis) process in the boot-up process?

I should be fine with a 128M pagefile considering the 512M of ram.

try setting the pagefile to min 128, max 128 so it doesn't have to fill with data or such, that might help.
