When SP3 is installed a system restore is generated in the event the install
goes bad. This takes up disk space.
Once you are satisfied that SP3 causes no problems do a disk cleanup and
defrag and your system will return
to it's former speed.

Will do.

Per Tom:

Same here, but I'm only at SP3.

JS's question rang true to me and I increased the free space from
1.7 gigs out of 24 to about 8 gigs.

Another question though: does anybody know where the setting for
caching vs non-caching is? Seems I recall setting it to "no"
along with my USB external drives a long time ago.... and having
no cache on C: seems kind of dysfunctional to me now.
