Cross DJ startup time

I have seen the startup time increasing in the last couple of software revisions, I just timed it at 2:08 minutes which feels kinda long. I think it was faster before V2.6. How much does collection size affect this ? I have 11.500 tracks right now (being a record pool hog :twisted: ). Has anyone else noticed longer startup times ? :?:

That's a very long time indeed. I have just timed Cross, 3 times. On my old system it only took 14 secs to open and I have over 35,000 tracks in my Collection.

Something is not quite right on your system, mate

It's usually when I run CrossDJ the first time after Windows boot that takes long. After closing and reopening it might take around 30 seconds. AND for some reason CrossDJ.exe also takes a long time to disappear from task manager processer after quitting the program, sometimes I need to kill the process within task manager. This is also something new with recent versions. Anyone had similar experiences? this is pretty weird to me. :eek:

Running on OSX, and it's the same speed as always. Fast. I have around 12k tracks. Have you tried defragging?

Alrighty, did some fine tuning - freed up hdd space and tweaked my pagefile settings. Now it seems CrossDJ is closing properly, which is nice. Still after a fresh reboot the first time I fire up CrossDJ it takes around 2 minutes. But after closing it the reopening is under 20 seconds. This might be sort of normal then ? :eek: :cool:

I have the same results as you...I defrag every week and clean out my computer with a utility cleaner for windows! Just saying...
