If your application is the first one to run as managed code the
initialization includes the time for starting the CLR. If you first run
another managed code that starts the CLR you will see your startup times get
shorter. Not much you can do about that.

Hi Newsgroup,

just a more general question: Since I'm testing my AddIns made with
VSTO SE for Office 2003, I'm experiencing a short delay when starting
the application with the AddIn installed, even if no action is
executed in ThisAddIn_Startup. This issue occurs especially in Word -
not dramatically, but noticeable.

Is this a known issue and are there any tricks to improve performance
at starttime of the application?

Kind regards,

Steffen
