I have been using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Stick (Huawei K3765) and noticed differences in performance (high disk and processor use) on my laptop when I was using it compared to being attached to a local network. Turning down the logging level and preventing the Mobile Connect software from starting at logon significantly improved the performance.

1. Turn down logging

Logging can be turned down by editing MobileConnect.exe.config and Settings.xml in C:\Program Files\Vodafone\Vodafone Mobile Connect\Bin\ as follows.

MobileConnect.exe.config

Settings.xml

2.  Don’t start the Mobile Connect software at logon

Use Autoruns to prevent Mobile Connect from starting at logon. It will start from the menu when you want to use the modem.
