Joe, can you define "huge" for us?

Well, while of course I no longer have access to the IDE's source code, when I did it was quite large -- over 12 MB, with hundreds of classes and modules -- and it would open in about a second.

It didn't use any external items, but I currently have a suite of projects that all share about 20 items, and they open instantly.

My projects are big but relatively simple. I use very few external items and almost no plugins. I can't imagine what would be in my projects that make them open more slowly than yours.

Me either. I have no plugins installed, but I can't imagine why that would make much difference. I'm not on a particularly beefy machine, either -- just a 1.5 GHz G4. (Though when I was working with the IDE code, it was on a 2 GHz dual G5.)

Lots of external graphic files. The current project I'm working on takes 14 seconds to load into RB2006r1

Hmm, that could be it. My projects rarely have any graphics in them at all (I prefer to load graphics from disk at runtime).

One of mine (6 mb) takes 25 seconds, no externals, very few pictures. But if I kill FontAgent Activator it opens in 10 seconds... I think I've mentioned this before (5.5?), but with Suitcase.

Another interesting clue; I have no extensions installed on my Macs except for Default Folder.

Odd,
