Something is wrong then. Windows has its issues, and it does slow down over time as cruft in the system accumulates. And Windows XP is getting slower and slower due to a bug in the automatic updates service, but in general, but your experience with Windows is not normal. I managed hundreds of Windows workstations in my previous life and I did not see this occur with any regularity. So something is wrong with your setup. Maybe its time for a re-install? Virus or malware? Or maybe you need to upgrade to Windows 7? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
