I had installed the trial version of NAV 2012 on my 4 rigs. On all of them, NAV seemed lightning fast. Then I upgraded to 2013. End result is that I feel there's a slowdown on the systems. Even worse, starting Origin on my 64-bit system (the other 3 are 32-bit systems) shows the application but it does not show anything in the game list. It just remains there for 30"-1'.
I had NONE of these issues during my 2-weeks trial of NAV 2012. Feels like that on 2013 hell broke loose, regarding performance.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, is your platform 32- or 64-bit?
I must say my system today has shown signs of slowdown, ive never had this problem before. My PC is only 1 year old and it was the dogs nads, when I bought it. Today I had my webcam on, just on not camming anyone, and some music playing, well the music was stuttering like mad, so much I had to close it! I too am on Win 7 64bit, My system has Vertex 3 SSD with 16gig of high speed ram

Hi,
Check the setting for the boot protection scan. It is known to slow things down a bit. The'agressive' setting is the worst offender. The trade is security for speed.
Hope this helps
Over the days I tried all settings, currently it's set at normal. This slowdown is basically evident on my 64-bit rig, the other have a minimal change of speed penalty.
Additionally, shouldn't the boot setting affect only the bootup operation? Well, It doesn't, the slowdown is evident throughtout all applications, and especially some (like origin) whereas it is exhibitied as a freeze...
I'll uninstall 2013 and reinstall it. Will also use the uninstaller tool. If this persists, I'll switch back to 2012...

I uninstalled 2013, rebooted, run the uninstaller tool, rebooted, re-downloaded a fresh NAV 2013, installed, rebooted. Issues seem to persist.
Furthermore and more alarmingly, after logging in to my account immediately after a reboot, I saw the other taskbar icons I have (Acronis Drive Monitor, the volume control applet of my Auzen X-Fi Prelude and the network center applet) but not the NAV one.
For that matter I disabled NAV and downloaded the EICAR test file eicar.com to my desktop. I rebooted and logged into my desktop. The NAV icon did not show up. I tried to execute eicar.com and I was succesful (well, I received the Windows warning that this is not a valid executable file).
IOW, no protection for a quite long time after logging into windows. On my other rigs the NAV icon appears almost instantaneous. It also appeared immediately (IIRC) on 2012. Has something changed on 2013 or in the 64-bit version of 2013?

Do note that in these tests, I had boot coverage set to "aggresive", so I'd expect that nothing would pass undetected by the antivirus.
