is there some technical reason why sigil.exe takes 5 - 25 secs to launch yet bloatware like MSword will launch instantly.
I suppose I could try placing sigil & its components onto a create-at-startup RAM disc but that would be very geeky & I am not sure how to go about it in Windows 7
what would suit be it to have sigil re-use itself so if i double click a book in calibre it loads into the already running instance of sigil ( assuming there is one in memory), rather than spends time launching a brand new process. I Know I can go to sigil file open but then it takes even more seconds to manually navigate thru calibre,s black-book database to the epub that I want to edit.

I use the Tabs in Firefox all the time: MR is usually on one of them
I am guessing that you like to edit a large, Monolithic file as a book.
I prefer to work with a book of Chapter files. Different strokes.
I agree, reusing a in memory 'core' , similar to what Libre Office and others do, might help for frequent use users.
For Now, having an immediate 'Splash' appear to
prove that 'Sigil has Launched' would be nice
