This is SO much better than Windows explorer! And I'm more than happy to pay for it.

The only issue I have noticed is that the context menu takes a while to open, and it is made worse because of the opening and closing animation. It keeps bugging me because I feel like the context menu of Windows explorer is a bit snappier than this.

I might be wrong but that's what it feels like.

That's FP waiting for Windows. When it takes longer, it's usually a third-party plugin initializing.

I have some things to try to mitigate these issues, but unfortunately, this whole architecture is broken. MS should not have allowed extensions to take over.

Would you recommend any app to "troubleshoot" these delays? Maybe a tool that helps seeing which extensions take long to load?

ShellExView can be used to track down slow extensions (but it doesn't offer runtime performance numbers):
