Is Windows 7 logon running slow? It might be your Background
Microsoft focused heavily on improving performance in Windows 7 and they delivered with boot times of less than 30 seconds being quite normal. However some tweakers out their might want to reduce this even more by stopping un-necessary services;using SSD hard drive (like the Intel X25-M) and/or by setting the backup ground image to a solid color as to not waste disk I/O loading the image file.
Unfortunately Microsoft let a bug through net that causes the logon process to be delayed by 30 seconds if you set your background image to a solid color.
Thankfully if you REALLY want your sold color background you can request the hotfix to resolve this performance issue from Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977346
Otherwise just use one of the really great Windows 7 Background images that come with it for FREE.
