It takes ~2.5 seconds to launch gimp on my janky old core i7 box.

Here 7 seconds on my AMD A8-7600 from 2015 with an SSD from 2012 :)

But the test is with a very big XCF file, loading lots of high quality layers. I would assume that takes all the time. Unless it is the MS Windows filesystem that is terribly slow, that might also be an option :)

It takes about 0.5 seconds on my 7 year old i5 + Samsung 960 SSD
