Boot Faster and Kill Bloatware for Better PC Performance

Recent benchmark tests performed by iolo Labs have shown that using the Startup Optimizer™ tool in System Mechanic® can significantly improve PC boot time performance.

Over 40 commonly used programs and browser add-ons were installed on four PCs with varying processor, hard drive and memory configurations, including a convertible tablet, ultrabook, desktop and notebook. Diagnostic tests were run to analyze the effects of System Mechanic on these and other major components of a PC.

Results

• The total aggregate score (across all PCs) for Startup Time was: 89.77% improved.

• The Windows 10 Desktop took 148.4 seconds to boot, but after running System Mechanic the

• PC was up and running in 48.2 seconds--over 200% faster.

• Optimizing with System Mechanic had a dramatic positive impact on the time to boot a Windows PC

For each PC’s startup results, see the chart below.

The above data illustrate that System Mechanic can improve the startup performance of a PC. Moreover, the tool within System Mechanic that allows this improvement contributes to the overall performance of a PC by preventing unwanted applications from launching at startup in the first place.

Startup Optimizer specifically discovers unnecessary bloatware executing during your system’s boot, which left unchecked not only slows startup but causes performance drain the entire time your PC is running.

Startup Optimizer alerts you to these unwanted startup items, and allows you full control over which non-critical ones to leave turned on and which you want disabled from launching at startup. The result is a faster, more responsive computing experience.

In additional articles in this series, we’ll examine the iolo Labs benchmarking results after using System Mechanic to attain broadband, processor and hard drive performance improvements.

Methods

Performance metrics were collected during tests run five times before and five times after System Mechanic was installed on each machine, with the scores averaged to deliver results across the following categories:

• PC Boot Time

• Internet (Download Speed)

• CPU (Processor)

• RAM (Memory)

• GPU (Graphics)

• Drives (HDDs and SSDs)

To measure boot time, or Windows startup time, iolo Labs recorded data using the Windows Event Viewer (Applications and Service LogMicrosoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational, Event ID100).

How to Be The $20k a Month Affiliate

Would you like to be the '$20k a Month Affiliate'? If you're not already, and many iolo affiliates are, be sure to read this great article by Andrew Bishop on Performance Marketing Insider to learn some of the things that you really MUST do in order to hit this life-changing milestone. Read on...

"It’s not rocket science.

The transformation that takes place around an affiliate ascending into the 20k plus per month range is one of the most often discussed topics in our industry. How did they do it? Who did they bribe? What secret handshake did they learn to pull it off?

Every month I see multiple affiliates pull down more than 20k in revenues. And each month I wonder why more affiliates aren’t doing it. Though it’s not anything close to impossible, it does require some work. But more importantly, it involves working smart. I’ve attempted to define what “working smart” means by outlining the basic fundamentals that help create 20k a month affiliates.

First, we need to discuss the importance of relevant and thorough SubID Reporting. The SubID is an alphanumeric value that is added to your Tracking URL. It enables you to see conversions via these specific values, which can be extremely beneficial for tracking conversions for email lists, sub affiliates, etc.

If we, as your affiliate managers, are able to gain even the smallest of insights into your mailing operations and access to your SubID reporting, we can help optimize your traffic to get some of the best payout and improve your overall ROI. Affiliates that allow us this access perform far better than those who do not."
