My restarts and shutdowns take a while, just sitting there for almost a minute saying "saving your settings" or something like that...

I go into Event Viewer and see this:

Then I found this doing a knowledge base query on microsoft's site:

It says SP1 fixed it, but apparently it hasn't for me... I'm running SP1 already.
