Okay, it's not slow on ALL PDAs, but I think there are quite a few of you out there that would agree that Windows Mobile 5.0 can be a bit sluggish at times (if not all times). Mike Calligaro over at the Windows Mobile Team Blog agrees and tries to poke at an explanation:
"I've received a few questions from users who have said that their WM5 device seems to slow down and speed up erratically. Some have dug in and found that "filesys.exe" is using a lot of CPU power and that it appears to be running something called a "Compaction Thread." There have also been questions about a registry key called CompactionPrio256. I can't explain some of the bigger problems people are describing, but I can at least tell you what these things are and what they're trying to do."
You can read more about what you can do about it (or at least try to) here.
