| First time mame load time |

It's actually like that on all my machines. It may be connected to disabled services like prefetch etc |

Haven't done any of those stupid things and it's a pretty simple setup. Single, new hard drive that everything's on. I do have Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-virus. Wouldn't be shocked if it did something stupid, but I vaguely remember it being like this before I installed that. |

Interest piqued. My cab PC is similar - P4, winxp sp3, but I have two drives. OS and data. Mame and roms are on the data drive. Did some googling and found out some stuff about windows prefetch. The internets say that the prefetch folder holds 128 peristent entries, with the oldest overwritten afterwards. Removing "cleaning" entries doesn't help performance. mame on this pc seems to load about the same speed every time. Whatever is going on IMHO is not prefetch related. |

how long does it take you to open mame and run the game without the front end? |

I am running a similar config and have never seen this issue. I also don't run any AV as the machine is never connected to the network. Some suggestions: 1. Uninstall AV and see if issue still exists. 2. Disable all power saver features, including those that may be set in the bios. Do you do anything to optimize performance when you install XP or do you pretty much plain vanilla the install? |
