Default Sluggish system after installing Rollback

I just installed the demo version, and it makes my system crawl like a turtle.
Before installing Rollback, my Win7 system boots to the desktop in 51 secs + 5 more secs until it gets ready (no more harddisk led). After Rollback, it boots to the desktop in 110 secs, and the harddisk led keeps running for another 30-40 secs. All startup items deactivated, and it still takes 102 secs. Clean boot without rollback installed only takes 45 secs. It seems Rollback is slowing down my system so tremendously during boot. Is this normal ?

HDTach hd benchmark before & after installing Rollback shows the same performance though.

Uninstalling rollback completely, and my boot speed return to normal 51 secs.
Anybody can explain ?

Although you didn't list your system processor & memory, it is to be expected that the RBRx console (which loads on bootup) will stretch-out bootup time. That startup time will be further increased whenever RBRx needs to defrag/optimize its snapshots.

Once your desktop has completed loading, you shouldn't notice any meaningful degradation.

I am an avid gamer and play with Rollback RX. I believe the boot time is extended but I have not measured like you did.
I see no performance issues with it installed (after boot).
I can easily live with the extended boot time to get the protection. There is no REAL alternative to Rollback RX.
Once it defrags snapshots, you will see a real extended boot time. This doesn't happen ofter though.
