Tips for shorter launch time starting Live?

[purpurkatten]

I just compared a demo of Reaper, starting in 9 seconds, to Live, starting in over 40.

Why does Live take so long time to start?

Is there any way I could make Live start in shorter time?

Thanks for any tip.

(I did a search but nothing came up.)

...less vst instruments and effects would be one way !

OK, I deleted all the effects I had in my template project loaded by default, and Live loads much faster now.

Note, all the effects were disabled, but still only having them in the drop area made Live starting much slower.

Thanks!
