Improve speed when XYplorer is opened (faster than Windows Explorer)

[chocolatebarmutton]

Hey,

when I compare XYplorer (22.10.0100) with Windows Explorer (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11). Windows Explorer is always faster than XYplorer when I open it.

An improvement in speed would be very good so that XYplorer is as fast as Windows Explorer or faster when opened.

Menu - Help

Hold CTRL and click on "Various Information"

Check every single point of that info...

Additionally look at what the script text get("loadtimes");

XY is loaded in about 2 seconds for me.
Don't forget that Windows Explorer is already loaded in the background when you start it.

Here also the same XYplorer needs about 2 seconds until it is completely visually visible. Exactly Windows Explorer is always active in the background and needs about only 1 second.

I tested Total Commander (64-Bit only) for comparison and it also takes only 1 second, can you confirm that on your end?

You're using 739 ms (approaching a second) just for XY copy initiation. What are you doing there on startup and why? My startup is always in the 400's ms, but obviously that depends on what you have going on at startup and your computer speed.

I actively use Total Commander, it takes about 1 or 2 seconds to load.
Almost the same as XY for me.

Excluding xycopy.exe from AV might help. My startup time is usually below 800 ms, and my machine is not too fast.
