Just closed out some of the background stuff and it’s about a half second faster at 6494 ms. I still have a lot of background apps that are set to automatically restart if I manually close them so there still is a bunch going on. Backblaze (online backup), NAS, antivirus, cooling management, UAD audio software, MIDI routing (so Dorico receives the MIDI signal), and some Adobe CC stuff that refuses to stay closed are all running.
