Does anyone know why - or is there a reason for, why my box takes about twice as long to load windows after installing LS? is it trying to load more things or what? Thanks for any input,

You have to remember as LiteStep comes up it is loading all of the modules that you have picked. If you run a theme like Beetle2000, which jalist wrote waaay back when, you will wait hours. :) That theme runs about 30 modules on startup. You must also pay attention to what modules you are running. Some modules are written poorly and will just consume resources.

To find help in debuging your problem your best bet is probably irc and not these forums however. Hop on irc.freenode.net and give someone a hollar.

In case you mean the 30 seconds delay on XP's login screen, none of the alternative shells seems to have figured it out yet, the only thing you can do at this point is to switch back to the classic logon screen. Then again you might mean something completely different. *shrug*

ilmcuts: yea, thats the one....
