I zone anywhere between 5-10 secs with my SSD. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Good lord, I zone in a few seconds... every single zone, every single time... I can't imagine waiting minutes between zones. In the old days I know it felt like forever, but I doubt it was minutes, maybe 30-45 seconds for busy zones.

My system is:
Windows 7
4.15 Ghz Core i7
12gb DDR3 2133
6-drive RAID0 SATA2
ATI 5870 at some random overclock
Squishy mousepad

I always just assumed that it was good data read rate that allows for fast zoning. Break out performance monitor and watch for spikes when you zone. Do you run EQ in windowed mode?

It takes me about 15 seconds at the most to zone with EQ loaded on a bottom of the line ssd on my laptop. I think that is completely acceptable and I'm a reasonably busy guy with not allot of time to spare.

I think 15 seconds in the magic number. That's how long it takes me to zone most of the time. I think that's still pretty slow and I would like it to go faster.
