0.95:
First run after computer booted: very slow (5~10 seconds, sometimes longer)
Second and later runs: fast (same as before)

0.94: can't remember :D

3~5 seconds is normal
But 10~20 seconds before the window shows itself? I can't remember any application slower than this

I have not 10-20 seconds after a reboot. Please try another app using Qt libs like https://sqlitebrowser.org/

Tested with "DB Browser for SQLite - .zip (no installer) for 64-bit Windows"

Same slow as xnview, first run takes 16 seconds, second and later runs takes 1 seconds to startup

I just tested XnViewMP 0.84 vs the current version (0.98.x) myself and I can confirm the threat author's findings: Launching into XnViewMP by double clicking a single small JPEG image in an otherwise empty directory takes about 2 seconds with the current version while it is almost instant with 0.84. It also does not seem to make a difference if an image is loaded on startup or if the application is started on its own.

I do not have many additional fonts installed. This issue is especially annoying when XnView is to be used as a quick viewer out of the Desktop (which is what I mainly use it for).

Has there been any progress on this? I went back to using XnView Classic for now, but I would really prefer MP. I don't think this is a QT5 issue per se, i.e. it should not take 2 seconds to load a QT5 UI.
