There are many things that can cause a slow shutdown. Bonjour is only one of many possible culprits. Make sure it's the actual culprit before you go deleting it.

What exactly does Bonjour do? If it isn't anything I need or want, why would I go through steps 1. and 2. instead of just proceeding directly to 3. ?


It's meant to allow easier location of network resources for things such as printers and file-sharing devices such as the Apple Aiport devices.

The fact that those kinds of devices and services are supposed to be discoverable on local LANs anyway, but frequently aren't due Windows network implementation issues, irritates me. Apple shouldn't have to write a Windows service to help that along.
