I'm getting poor performance with Windows Vista. Is there anything I can do?

Here are some things you can try to improve Vista performance:

• Install Vista Service Pack 1: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is an update that is focused on addressing specific reliability and performance issues.
• Adjust throttling: A mechanism to control network performance in Windows Vista.
• Disable the Windows Sidebar: User banaman has found that disabling the Sidebar greatly improved performance.

Wireless users may suffer poor performance due to a problem with Vista being unable to properly negotiate the MTU settings on the NAS. There is an unofficial how-to here: Wireless Performance Issues with Vista/Windows7 and the ReadyNAS
