wow i never noticed this...my pc has been restarting slow lately...iam going to try this out.
Edit, i have reset it to the max allowed of 4...the pc is still in restart mode "getting windows ready" so im guessing i should try wait 2-3 hrs and see if it is ok?

belated welcome! after waiting 45 minutes, i think you are right...i dont notice anything different...for now, i will leave it as is.. i sometimes expect too much out of this pc...its not very high end but its a workhorse as i use it daily. i guess if i want to meet my expectations of having faster pc,, id have to install more ram and memory -which can be costly whether i install it or taking to repair shop. how about tweaking the page file? my pc is 4GB ram, 500GB HDD btw

I leave the pagefile at 1500 minimum and 5000 max
But unless your motherboard supports 16gb of ram or more you wont see a real performance boost.
Ssds are good but a good gpu would be the upgrade id go for before any of it if possible.
But if you feel like tweaking the registry, visually and the feel of it these tweaks work pretty good but better after a clean install of windows.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]
"Win32PrioritySeparation"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Executive]
"AdditionalCriticalWorkerThreads"=dword:00000010
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"MaxThreadsPerQueue"=dword:00000010
Maxthreadperqueue and additionalcriticalworkerthread go together so make sure both values are the same.
Win32PrioritySeperation=0 balances out your system to where what ever background and foreground need the cpu will get done faster but you can always set the value to 26 if you dont like it set to 0.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Executive]
"AdditionalCriticalWorkerThreads"=dword:00000010
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"MaxThreadsPerQueue"=dword:00000010
As long as you have the irq of your realtime clock/cmos or high presision event timer listed in your system information/msinfo32
Irq8priority believe it or not helps a little bit in boosting the launch of applications but i haven't tried using irq8priority with the tweaks above but i have used it before.
Note: doing the five tweaks i listed above need to be made in a sequence not all at once. Make sure to backup your system or at least your important files. Also benchmarks im not sure but the feel of the tweaks applied are nice for me.

Doing some further experimenting i have noticed snappier results with the following reg tweaks.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]
"Win32PrioritySeparation"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Executive]
"AdditionalCriticalWorkerThreads"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]
"EnableSuperfetch"=dword:00000000
"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000000
