http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-ways-speed-windows-7-shutdown-process/ Ever since I switched to Windows 7 on my laptop, which had previously shut down within seconds while running on Windows XP, the slow shutdown has been nagging me. If you also happen to be looking for ways to kick-start a Windows 7 slow shutdown, look no further! Here I will introduce you to 3 ways to optimize or speed up the logoff process, so that you can leave the office or get into bed faster. Prologue I tested these tips one after the other on my Windows 7 netbook (which shut down significantly faster after upgrading to 2GB RAM). I booted into Windows, started some standard programs, including Skype and Chrome with several different tabs open, waited until they had fully loaded, and then shut down the computer.

Kyle's Cousin » An Absolute Beginner’s Introduction to Database Indexes

Proper indexes on your tables are a crucial part of any Database design that requires advanced data retrieval. For basic databases with only a few dozen records per table, indexes may not be absolutely necessary and even slow things down (if your RDBMS does not automatically ignores the index), but it’s still good practice to design your database with proper indexes from the start if you expect it to grow big. The minute your number of table records increases and you need to do more advanced select queries (eg. joining of multiple tables), efficiency and speed becomes important. That’s where indexes come into play. http://www.kylescousin.com/2010/09/an-absolute-beginners-introduction-to-database-indexes/
