My calibre startup time seems to be about 10 seconds (I have way too many books in there) with SATA HD and 8G RAM, so even 5% does not excite me.

Nice to see some actual numbers though.

Thanks

Oops, I made some mistakes earlier so retested with variables more leveled, and revised my prior post with the corrections. OS X startup after shutdown is twice as fast, not five times as fast. And I'd previously tested with calibre startup restriction off, but on SSD with startup restriction on. I turned off the startup restriction, removed some recently added books from library that were added since testing with the hard disk drive, and got speedier results, over 25% faster without restriction than with restriction.
