Boots very quickly...

I just launched 'task manager' and the Calibre (nothing else).

Well ! As usual, on first start, I count slowly to 55. Everything frozen, including all of the Task' screen and its clock... When the splash screen shows (at last), it stays for 3 seconds and then the program run immediately.

Closed it, restarted, almost instananeous.

And answer to the 'quote above':

No, not any 'Network drive'
No device running other than the permanent USB disk (forget to check
if it was available, then)

No back-up program running (I do it by hand myself)

Mystery stay entirely (Gremlins, may be ?)

And I do not have any library or scan by Calibre, just an empty lib
that I use to convert files then delete it. Don't even have the 'help book'
in there
The fact that Calibre started fast the second time and ran slow the first time could be because of a seriously fragmented hard drive. The second run ran faster because of things cached in memory that were not the first time and Calibre had to be loaded fully from disk.

Try defragmenting your system drive and whatever drive the Calibre library is on and see how fast it runs.
