since other people - myself included - are doing fine on Win7 I'm intended to look at the systems behavior first, using Taskmanager.

Which processes are consuming CPU cycles, which ones take the memory, especially when the thing feels slow? Do you need all the services, are all your drivers up to date, do you agree on the routines which are launched at startup, inspected / cleaned the machine / registry (with CCleaner etc)? Did you run tests and speedchecks on vital components (mem, disk, ...). Is the Windows Speed Index (or any other benchmark) according to expectations, and which components do deviate too much?

is it slow on all applications, is it Poser only, ...

Just to prevent you from performing Open Heart Surgery on a patient with just a cold.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
