When I open PP it takes a good what… 20 seconds? I see the splash screen and it finally opens. I have a powerful 3950X with 32GB RAM so I don’t get it.
Tough, it’s the Java impact as initially the Java Virtual machine needs to be executed and the Java code is to be to compiled just-in-time.
this has changed though few months back, didn´t it? Before it was not the 20 secs. And, I am not 100% sure, but it only occurs on Win (11) and not on (an older) Mac OS?
(for me it does not really matter, I consider this not even annoying, I can very well live with it; but of course I also would not mind a fix 
)
Did you edit the PortfolioPerformance.ini file so that Java actually uses the memory?
I didn’t do anything. What do I change?
I used the recommended settings here:
- : (Win10 64bit 16GB RAM)
-Xms4096m
-Xmx12288m
-Xss512k
It still took 24 seconds to open, im not sure how much it took with default but it was similar. I don’t understand how an accounting software takes half a minute to start in 2025.
But the good news is that after I open it once, after closing it, I can reopen it in like 3 seconds, something I don’t understand since I don’t see it loaded in memory or something.
Modern operating systems buffer a lot of files in memory after they have been read once. Are you using a harddisk (i.e., the classic thing with rotating discs, as opposed to an SSD)?
