Hi!
In my home computer, I have Windows XP SP1 installed. My HD is a 18 GB
SCSI one and I have an ADSL line.
Sometimes, my machine becomes slow, and I couldn’t isolate if it’s a HD
fault or a NDIS driver (maybe the firewall) fault. Nothing in the Event
Viewer.
I would like to know if there’s any way to find the “bad driver”, using
Windbg. In some IFSKIT PPTs, I saw something about breaking in the
thread scheduler, but I’m not sure if it’s the easier way.
I don’t know too much about DEVICE drivers, I develop File System
Filters…
Thanks…
Strauss
PS: What about a GeekFest in a sunny brazilian beach?? 
Another way to do this would be to have VTune fired up ready to go with “no
application” to run. Then just “start” VTune, and it will (hopefully) show
you where in the system it’s spending it’s time.
Just a thought…
[VTune is also EXCELLENT for finding out where you’re spending time in your
own driver, or application, of course].

TrueTime (part of DriverStudio)
