Environment
- GitExtensions version: 7.0.1 RC2
- GIT version: 2.54
- OS version: Windows11
- .NET version: 10.0.300
Issue description
load time is decreased in comparison to v6.0.5 v6.0.5 takes to show the first window 5 seconds on my machine, total load time with all the big git tree around 30 seconds v7.0.1RC2 first window appears in around 10 seconds, while the total load is around the same 30 seconds. Subjectively it became slower because after pressing the button to open the application and when something happens on the screen lasts about 10 seconds
Settings window also seems slower, Each settings tab renders a slower - it's easy to notice that controls loads from the top to the bottom while on the v6 they are rendered almost immediately
Steps to reproduce
- Install v.7.0.1
- open
- measure load time
- open settings
- click tabs
Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?
