General Discussion / Re: Long program loading time
I don't know what's going on under the hood.  However, in my case, when I first fire up NWC, it definitely is loading the sound font(s) and thus the delay.

General Discussion / RE: soundfont loading.
Bingo!

Yes I'm loading large soundfonts (102Meg).  I fired up my Audigy soundfont manager program and, whadayaknow, it took about a minute to load the soundfonts.

Thanks to all for your suggestions.

By the way, one of the soundfonts I'm using is the Equinox Steinway D font.  It's free and it's the best piano font I've ever heard.  It alone is about 48Meg.  The other font I'm loading is one I seldom use, so out it goes.

General Discussion / Long program loading time
I have the latest NWC2 on a Windows2000 SP4 machine.  When I first fire up NWC, it takes forever (actually about one minute) to load.  The drive light is on all this time so some serious disk activity is taking place.  Several previous versions of NWC2 also did this.

I have 512Meg of memory so I doubt one program is being swapped out to make room for NWC.  Even if there is swapping going on, it shouldn't take one minute.

If I exit NWC and then re-load the program, this delay doesn't happen a second time.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get around this.  Thanks in advance.
