I have a 10 MB project with around 300 classes/modules and it takes 20 to 30

I do have a number of plugins installed but I would have thought that the
processing of those happened when the IDE launched.

My project has 25 small graphics in it.

I have a couple of extensions but neither of the ones that you or Peter are
using.
