UltraCompare General Discussion • UltraCompare starting very slow, sometimes up to 30 seconds

Hi,

I'm using UC version 2024.00.0.26 64-bit on quite new German Windows 11 on a Core-i7 with 16GB/SSD notebook and a complete new Windows 10 Core-i7/vPRO with 32GB/SSD.
I start UC mostly from Explorer context menu.

On both systems I notice that UC sometimes takes "ages" (ranging from 10 to about 30 seconds) to start. Files to compare are text files about 2-3 MB size. I have a compare option active to ignore all text between lines starting with ".data" and ending with ".enddata". This region contains hex encoded binary data and looks like this:
But even if I start UC fresh from taskbar (I use UC quite often) it takes about 4 sec until empty UC window is shown. If I then click on "Text" it takes about another 7-8 sec until I see left and right file and I can then start dragging files to compare.

Is this normal? What else can be the cause of this slow behavior?

Thanks,
Stefan
