   If you think hiberfil.sys is useless, why not disable it? Use this   
   command as an administrator:   
      
     powercfg.exe /hibernate off.   
      
   Restart the machine and see if it makes any difference.   
      
   Personally, I find fast startup useful on an old machine, but some   
   people prefer to start afresh while they make a cup of coffee!
