Oh.

I apologize for treating you like an imbecile.

Thanks then for the free data point.

And: Your data look fast enough to me. I'm really curious to see the data from the "XYplorer slow to open" crowd...

Thanks for the numbers, folks! Next version will refine the measuring and dive deeper into the flow at some points.

No, that was a little oversight by me (did not check the Maxi Tree flow).

Maybe it's worth mentioning that I have neither tree nor catalog showing. Is it necessary to load them anyway, just in case? Not that it makes much difference in my case, just wondering ...

Posted: **25 Mar 2015 13:57**

Yes, a little Tree loading is necessary. Just in case you want to show it later...

Your results are remarkable. As far as I see you are the only one losing most milliseconds in "Init 0" and "Init 1". Hmmm...

Posted: **25 Mar 2015 14:03**

What does this mean spelled out in plain talk? What happens during those init-phases, maybe I can shed some light on it. I do have tons of CTBs that call submenus....

On upgrades I do see Init 1 taking more time...

Slowdown cause number one: An active virus scanner can severely slow down file operations and make XYplorer less responsive. Especially Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender can have a dramatic negative effect on speed. Try to add XYplorer.exe and XYcopy.exe to the exceptions.

And my normal "xyplorer.ini" (being open via command line /ini=...)
This is the second launch since reboot.... Which usually is a little quicker anyway...

Thoughts?
And thanks for adding the tool Don !!! Much appreciated.

EDIT: Just realized I might be using an old version.... Will update, reboot and post updated soon...

Hmm, weird. There is some upgrading code, but it should be very quick. And I cannot repro it here.

PS: Maybe some AV is scanning the new EXE, making the start slow?

You probably did not see this:

Code: Select all

    + Help | Various Information: Hold CTRL+SHIFT when clicking the menu item 
      and you get detailed information about the application load times.

Posted: **25 Mar 2015 16:24**

You are correct!
Okay here we go:
Did a reboot, then relaunched. No command line this time, just plain old xyplorer.exe.
Was also "unresponsive" for a while after opening. Hit [Esc] to cancel my CCs... Still a little unresponsive, but Chrome is too, so...

So is this

16,746 ms: 27 ms - Init 1
telling me it's the tree that is the problem, or is it "init 1?"

========================
EDIT: If I close and re-open the same profile (this is my normal profile) multiple times, it is a lot faster... Switching profiles, or first launch after reboot, are what slows things down.

Wow, that's SLOW.

Are you starting on some slow network location, and/or have many slow network drives expanded in the tree?

Is your machine generally slow?
Is your HD generally slow?
