slow shutdown and slow first rdp connection

cs,

Is it possible that there might be some services running on your runtime
that may take a while to stop?
Just to narrow the problem try using shutdown.exe and xpepm.exe tools from
XPe Repository and see if the shutdown time is still the same. Supposedly,
the "xpepm -shutdown" should be faster.
