Luminar 3.1 Startup time
My startup times were varying between 10 and 60 seconds and I've figured out why.
The golden rule (for me at least) is to jump back to grid view before exiting. If i exit Luminar from the edit panel (with multiple edits applied to an image), it's going to be a 60 second startup.
It's really not much different than starting in grid view (10 seconds) and selecting Edit on the image I was working on (30 seconds to load it), but the perception is night and day at least to me, and it's still a little quicker.
For reference, I've catalogued about 10k images.
Quick tip, the space bar jumps between grid and edit.

I have 33,000 images and this morning it took 2min 29sec to start, I have no idea what screen it was in when closed down last night. I followed your advice @Rodney Brown and on restart it took a blistering 2min 7sec to start! Not good is it.
My catalogue is on the main hard drive of my iMAC (SSD) but the images are on an external drive (Firewire 800), I suspect this has something to do with it but I do not have issues with any other software,
Luminar 3 is still too flakey and after two years of this, I think I'm going to have to find something a bit better.

I have 76000 photos in my gallery. 5000 on ssd, and the rest on an external USB drive. Startup just now was around 50s (Not grid view)
startup gridview was 40s
followed by another 40s startup in edit mode, so the second startups were probably improved by disk caching rather than startup mode.
Fast core i7 (8700K) with 16GB ram
EDIT - just checked with a stopwatch. Startup from cold first time after computer on) is 44 seconds.
