Calling Black Viper's "some website" is like dismissing MacOSXHints as same.
I'm very familiar with its status. Yet you said that their advice killed your Windows installation, no? So my comment stands, use a known safe utility, rather than "some web site."

Lite PC puts a nice GUI to services modifying, but in any case the net result is minimal speed benefit within the VPC Windows OS environment, even with 1GB RAM for OSX and running 2000.

My opinion differs. No, I don't have the numbers. Seat of the pants I'd say 15-20% overall, with improved "snappiness."

Even if we only differ by 10% threshold (hard to quantify) I feel Lite PC greatly exaggerates their product's benefit to potential buyers typically desperate for sluggish speed (both PC users with ancient hardware running XP or VPC users) magic bullets.
