Hi All,
I haven't been to the forum in a while -- I hope you're all well.

Seems like xy has been loading a bit sluggishly lately... Given the info below, does anything jump out at you guys as a likely culprit?

In my experience an unexpected sluggishness is often fixed by a Windows reboot.

Now that you mention it... It has been 8 days, 19 hrs, and 2 mins since that last restart.

Thanks again Don and Highend.

I changed a couple of tweaks and restarted Windows. It's a bit faster now. 1.363 seconds compared to 1.227 for a fresh run.

It's noteworthy that I have a bunch of custom toolbar buttons with custom images. Also I use automatic color formatting. I have custom icons in my xyicons dir, though I don't use them.
