Something like 90 seconds the first time I ran it (time to load, find the
File menu and click Exit).  For the 2nd and 3rd times, 6 seconds!  Or to put
it another way, the program actually takes 5 or 6 seconds to initialise
itself, but how long it takes to load the first time depends heavily on
disk/kernel/processor/RAM/price of fish...

Athlon 2GHz, 512Mb RAM, ata 100 disk (not sure of spin speed)...

Cheers
