I think he means BootVis, Microsofts tool to improve boot/resume times. If you live near a bookstore that carries Maximum PC magazine they have a big article this month all about reducing your boot times.

BootVis?

If my boot times slowed with the new program, I'd delete it and see if that makes a difference. If so, perhaps a second install would work. If not, I'd delete for good.

bootvis is worthless on xp

if you want better boot times disable unused start-up items in msconfig and disable certain services you dont use/need a good guide for service settings can be found at tweakxp

If you want XP to perform and not be a system hog I suggest getting XP Smoker. It reduces boot time and has gaming settings to reduce system bog down.
