Having upgraded my mainboard, CPU and RAM, I thought this might be a good time to go 64 bit on my production machine. For the most part, I'm very happy, but I find WPG is extremely slow to start up.
before I upgraded, my x2 4400 in 32 bit VU opened WPG almost instantly. Now, with a Q9550 on 64 bit VU, it takes 13 seconds to open. This happens even when opening, closing and opening again to see if it opened faster from RAM.
Once open, it's very fast and responsive. I had disabled indexing while I set the machine up, so I thought that might be the issue, but re-enabling it made no difference (after 48 hrs.)
I googled around, but this doesn't seem to be a common issue. One thing I liked about WPG is that it opened fast and I use it to quickly search reference images tagged for business.
Thanks (relevant specs below),
