Muso -
A cold start to the initial Windows 10 login screen (where I can enter my pin #) takes
1:03, but I also have a 5 second delay set to allow me time to get to the BIOS screen at bootup time.
From the login screen, it takes another
1:20 to bring up the desktop and load all the background processes (including anti-virus, Stardock Fences to group my desktop icons, DVDFab Passkey, Techsmith Snagit, and more).
My Geekbench 5 scores for the i7-10750H processor which has 6 cores and 12 threads are as follows:

In RealBand, running "
Action, Test Audio Performance", it tells me I can run
87 concurrent tracks in RealBand (so given that RealBand only has 48, I shouldn't have a problem).
I created a song in RealBand with all RealTracks (
5 tracks, 128 bars, 120bpm resulting in a 4:52 song). It took
40 seconds to completely create all the audio tracks and and
10 seconds to render to WAV. The RealTracks/RealDrums content is on my spinning hard disk drive, however. I imagine it would be a little faster if they were on an SSD, but that's how my computer is set up.
RealBand is currently configured to use my Behringer U-Phoria Audio/MIDI interface, which also has a small Behringer mixer connected through it, using WAS drivers (which didn't work well on my previous laptop, but does work on this one, so I switched from the Behringer ASIO - which does work also - to WAS, so I could run both BIAB and RealBand concurrently with low latency).
Hope this helps.
