well, with the term proxy, I would think it would have to do with something network filter related. Your thought makes sense, but where would the slow-down occur with the fix? For example, Windows Vista has a precache for file searching. If you turn that off, it takes longer to search for files when you're on a hunt. Would it mean that certain programs that use a lot of local files slow down their startup? Would it mean that file explorer loads each folder slower? Or does it go along with the internet push idea that its precaching your favorites and commonly connected websites?
