great summary, John !
It's good you mention "DB restores" as well, as it is a "non trivial" usage area in many cases.

Awesome post. Been using the feature ever since I learnt from Kim Tripp (> 4years)
A little bit of explanation around why log files are not zero initialized would have made it even more complete.
Thx
NCS

I wrote SQLCop a couple years ago. SQLCop can also detect whether Instant File Initialization is enabled.
Download SQLCop from
http://sqlcop.lessthandot.com
Run SQLCop
Log in to any database on the server.
Expand "Configuration"
Click on "Instant File Initialization"
SQLCop will also show you a blog written by Brad M. McGehee that shows you how to enable Instant File Initialization.

Thanks much for this article. It implies that it's more important to pre-size the tlog files than the data files because the tlog files cannot take the advantage of Instant File Intialization.
