This is most likely a system issue. I generally live on the edge with my computer with many windows open. I now use an i7, Windows 8.1, 64 bit, 16 GB RAM. Legacy 7.5 takes about 1-2 seconds (varies) to open with a file of 67,000+, Legacy 8 - 1-3 seconds (varies) opening a file of 400.000+. So even file size doesn't appear to an issue. I have several other programs running as well. OK, so 3 seconds is 50% slower that 2 seconds!!!!
I compacted the file and turned off the Potential Problems, and is about the same under 3 seconds. Closing the other programs didn't change the time either. I had to upgrade my computer from Pentium on WinXP, 1GB RAM - now that was slow.
