It takes maybe half a second on my 4 year old Core I5.

Sometimes it does. I've seen this happen on several machines, some containing recent i7s. And if it does "pop up" quick, it has a loading screen. Let that sink in. It actually has a full-colour screen while it figures out how to render a few numbers and buttons. FFS.

Which is still kinda impressive given that calc.exe starts in milliseconds.
