Hi Guys,
I have been running the Public Beta Version (0.8.3.0) for some time now and must congratulate Orbmu2k for a great job well done.
My only gripe is with the application startup time over a Remote Desktop Connection which is painfully slow.
Tests here show that on a local machine startup takes approx 3 seconds from double clicking the icon to the application being fully loaded. But over a broadband Remote Desktop Connection this startup time is approx 180 seconds during which the rest of the desktop is un-responsive.
Once the application has loaded it's response times are on par when running things locally.
Now I appreciate there will be some latency due to the broadband RDC connection but not 3 minutes worth.
I believe the root cause of the startup problems is the constant redrawing of the splash screen graphic.
Therefore my I request an option, in a future version, which disables the splash screen on startup.
Many thanks
Alan

Hi Guys,
I have just spotted a new beta version (0.8.3.1) has been released which includes a 'No Splash Screen' enhancement.
A quick test here, with the Splash Screen turned off, and the load times over RDC are now back on par with a local workstation startup.
Thanks for adding the option.
Regards
Alan
