you must be on a mac :) I heard a tip on closing all of your Live browser folders upon quitting Live, so that when you re-open it, Live doesn't waste time scanning all of them--try it out.

Oddly enough, normally on my PC it takes ages to load up, but I'm playing about on my G3 900 PB at the moment with live 3.02 and os x 10.2.8 and I was just thinking how it started up really quick

I'm using the built in soundcard ( and I'm VERY impressed at the latency I can get off the in-built card - I'm quite comfortably working at 5.8 ms at the moment - I'd be lucky to get 4 times that with the windows crappy direct sound etc....)

I also have loads of vst plugs in the plug directory

so i would say that either it's down to the drivers of your card or some of your plug-ins

I'll try it with my firewire 410 and see if it makes any difference to startup time

I'm running an old Terratec 24/96 at 0.65 ms latencyand Live takes around 2.5 seconds to start, folders open or closed. I've been really tempted to get another card but this little terratec seems to be doing just fine.

the main thing I noticed slows it down is scanning the plug-ins directory

Tracktion has a 'rescan plugin directory on startup' check box which is a very cool idea and would be well worth implementing

That way you uncheck it, it dramatically speeds up startup and you just scan manually when you add new plug-ins
