When I start ANRB it sometimes takes upwards of 20 minutes to load the application and display received aircraft. A minute or so after I click on the icon the small green box comes up and quickly displays the version, RB1 and RB2 status (I only have 1...) then goes into "Optimizing Data" for the next 15-20 minutes. Eventually it then goes into full operational mode.
If I stop the application and restart it after a minute or so it does the same but finishes the start-up process after 2 or 3 minutes.
The Application Version is 5.00.071. It is running on an HP 9180f, with Windows 7Pro 64bit SP1, 9GB RAM, and the processor is an i7 920, 2.67GHz. (4 cores I think...)
I currently have it plugged into a USB3.0 card in a PCI-x slot, but it does the same on a regular USB2 port.
AFAICT the computer itself is fairly high horsepower even though it is a couple years old. It came with Vista and I upgraded it to W7P-64 a few months after I bought it. ANRB4 didn't take quite as long to load.
I updated the database a few times, most recently a week or so ago.
Is this normal behavior ir is there a way to speed up the boot process?
