@DiapDealer,

I just missed your earlier reply. The version you just tested uses full Off The Record caches. I just pushed with deploy a version that uses only memory caches with a named cache folder.

Would you please run the same test when it completes so that we can see if it is the naming of the cache folder that causes the conflict, or if just using a memory cache (not fully OTR) is the culprit.

Thanks

ps. either way I think Kovid's theory is the right one. We just have to figure out how to work around it on Windows.

On MacOS no issues because of the multi-main window design. And I just tested on Linux and there are no slowdowns at all running multiple instances in loading Preview.

So this cache file lock contention is the issue, then it only exists on Windows (not Mac or Linux).
