There used to be threads, a while back, about the length of start-up time for BiaB.
There were suggestions about PC performance and the relative power of various PC configurations and all that.
But for many of us, from "click" to "ready" would often take up to 30 seconds or so.
This seemed to have been fixed in 2010 (or 2010.5, can't remember).
It was fantastic.
Start-up was almost instantaneous.
Now, with 2011, we seem to be back a little bit where we were before.
It's not as bad as it once was but not as great as it had become.
Hopefully this can be fixed again.
