· Cura running super slow on a really good computer
I'm also having weird issues with 4.5 startup speed. It's quite odd, if I load some STL files it will load almost instantly. Try others and it grind away forever and is using a huge amount of RAM (even more than Chrome!!!). File size doesn't seem to be a factor as larger files will often open much more quickly than smaller files. I have disabled the network plugin mentioned previously to no effect.

In 4.5 we also switch to a much more extensive crash logging system, so let's hope it gives us what we need 🙂
