Not sure why this is, but my computer runs EXTREMELY slow after quitting StarCraft 2 after playing for an extended period of time (30 mins+). It takes about 5 mins for it to get back to pretty much normal, but it's never 100% fast like it was prior to launching the game. The only way to get Windows running fast again is to restart the PC.
Pretty much the same problem as this guy:

Specs:
-- Studio XPS 435 Desktop: Intel Core i7-920 Processor (8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
-- 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz (4 DIMMs)
-- 500 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
-- 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4850
StarCraft 2 runs fine with everything on High settings...well, the loading screen of the 1st game takes a long time to load...longer than everyone else...and then the first 20 seconds of the game it may be really slow and seems like it's loading a bit. But after that, everything loads fast.
Any ideas? It drives me nuts, as I play SC2 daily, and hate restarting my PC due to it server media to my HTPC (which isn't being used during gaming) - I just don't like restarting.
