Anyone experiences any slowdown after soft resets?

I installed the 'Notification Checker' - and I did indeed have a very high number of "conmgr.exe" notifications. Interesting...

So, I installed the 'Notification Clear Fix' program and performed a soft reset - it seems to have fixed the problem. Less slowdown after the reset too.

I was amazed to find 520 notifications on my xda 2, and only 17 after the fix.

Makes one wonder...

Hmmm... 129 notifications before the utility, 12 after using the utility.
Glad to have a way to remove them, but would like to know what they are (at the byte level) and why they would impact performance... just curious!

This is really old news, but I guess it is worth repeating. This is a bug in the OS, and the main reason that it slows it down is because the PDA has to read each and everyone each time. Eventually they are capable of locking it up. The bug comes in that the system is not deleting the old one before addint new ones...
