Has anyone else noticed that the past handful of builds have been VERY slow to start-up? I have a few reasonably powerful machines, and it still takes quite a while for MC launch... Enough so that my wife often double-clicks on the icon 2-3 more times while waiting for it to launch (and, while she certainly could be more patient than she is, it isn't out of control).
Just for giggles, here are my primary machine's relevant stats:
Main PC:
Media Center Registered 11.1.163 -- C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\
Microsoft Windows XP 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
AMD Unknown 2003 MHz MMX / Memory: Total - 2096 MB, Free - 1509 MB
HTPC:
Media Center Registered 11.1.163 -- C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\
Microsoft Windows XP 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
AMD Athlon 2071 MHz MMX / Memory: Total - 1048 MB, Free - 377 MB
I did just roll the HTPC back to only 1GB of RAM (I'm waiting for a delivery from newegg to correct that), so it's somewhat lacking there but still...
