   I'm using Classic Shell (despite its webpage saying it's obsolete/not   
   being developed/whatever), as I have been since Windows 7; I've not   
   noticed any significant slowdown.   
      
   I _did_ notice some general slowdown - PC seemed to be doing something   
   that was making it busy (mouse cursor moved jerkily, that sort of   
   thing), a few days - maybe a week - ago; but that seems to have righted   
   itself.   
      
   (I'm still getting the apparent-stuck-modifier-key I've mentioned   
   before, which I'm pretty sure is _not_ hardware, occasionally; doing   
   "switch user" - to me, I'm the only user - from the Ctrl-Alt-Del menu   
   clears it. Nothing else does, including - usually - the OSK [that does   
   very occasionally]. But that's not a slowdown, just an irritant.)

   We must, of course, ensure that we display no bias. The bias I worry   
   about most is the bias against understanding.
