Windows Update Users and prudent sys admins might have installed the latest
Windows patch without a thought. That might not have been such a good idea.
The patch is meant to fix a hole in Windows Messaging but can end up causing
a severe performance degradation.
The patch, which we wrote about here, has been causing grief for many users.
If you have Windows Update running on automatic and you're experiencing a
*** slowdown on your system, you might want to try removing patch 811493.
Users with the performance problems report that removing the patch fixes
things.
The patch fixes a relatively minor security problem where an attacker would
have to have physical access to the machine.

I don't use auto update either but the patch slowed my system down,
even with auto update turned off.
Granted I'm not racing on this machine to compare framerates,
but it slowed enough for me to tell just with apps.

I removed it and have not had any problems so far. It shows a warning about certain programs not working without it, but they do work.
