Susan, what is the cold boot bottleneck?  My computer boots pretty fast but
it is very modern with tons of high speed cores and tons of memory.  BTW
for those who missed it, PrimoCache!!!

My computer has SSDs and it even triples the speed of my SSDs.  YES, you
heard right, triples the speed.  So if one of your bottlenecks is a slow
disk... check it out.

I encrypt my entire C: partition using veracrypt.  In my case that is a
bottleneck, but mostly in the initial boot phase.  It stops to ask my
password, then does its decryption magic, ending up at the Windows login
screen.  After that the decryption doesn't have much impact.
