I make it a point to do it in Windows 7 also. However, from my experience, these services are writing by brute-force, and can seriously degrade a poor SSD disk. Windows 7 is an improvement, but these services, and a pagefile which the OS decides to write to even though I have more than enough free memory, is annoying still. I have yet to see as good performance from default settings, compared to when unnecessary features are turned off. Boot time is not important to me, but with SSD these services possibly except pagefile are becoming more and more irrelevant, which was my gut feeling from the start.

Good point. Actually, Windows 7 is designed to be optimized automatically with SSD. I have tried a bunch of things to speed it up and now have Super Fetch turned off.

I am not seeing any slow down, or speed up at all. However, the annoying, and paranoia provoking, disk writing in the background is indeed gone. That is very nice! In fact the only time I need to restart my system is after a full night of high speed downloads — aka disk writing.

The only time I have trouble running programs is when Media Center is recording a TV show in the background again disk writing. The only programs that give me trouble in the background are disk intensive Evernote and Mediamonkey.
