    Aston shell - faster than Explorer

    A few days ago, I downloaded Aston shell, which is a Windows shell replacement. Now my Windows load faster, and moreover, I get a slight performance increase. Try it here:

    Any change in benches, or just regular use performance increase? (I usually kill explorer to bench anyway, so I'm assuming no.)

    It gives me 1 second less in Super PI (as if I killed explorer), but I think its only something like the 0.2s I needed, not a whole second.

    I have Xp Pro with SP2 and i didn't get any unstability at all.
    It's very easy to install and to change the skins but I didn't become accustomed with the changes at all.
    Try it..
