Correct on all counts :)

The issue you are seeing is Windows specific, and only affecting certain 
machines - Vivian has two machines, one is fine, the other has your issue. Note 
if you leave the machine for a long time (maybe an hour or more, it depends), 
it will start fine, and once that cache is built, future launches will not have 
the same delay. So a work-around is just to leave it starting overnight or 
while you're studying, and then you should be good to continue work on the 
EC135.

Of course this is a temporary fix, we are looking at making the loading of this 
data asynchronous so startup is not delayed, but we also lack Windows 
developers who can investigate the issue, since Linux, Mac and some Windows 
boxes are absolutely fine.
