Just over 15 seconds

For the restart for SR1 it took about 30 secs
My computer is more than 5 years old, has a slow (5400 RPM) HDD, and it just took about 50 seconds to load. That's quite a bit faster than L5 used to load.
To optimize loading, don't load to a layout that has any searches, guides or tools in an active tab - that is, they shouldn't be showing.
My causal observation has been that L6 takes a bit longer to load.
I can't compare my speed to others because we are not loading identical things.
I am seeing the same thing. Having said that, I am working on an older PC and once it is loaded and running, it does seem more responsive than L5.
Took about a minute with a somewhat busy layout. I agree with Mark, it's not faster than Logos 5, and maybe a bit slower on start-up.
After closing everything and restarting the computer so memory would be clear, 1 minute 44 seconds to a blank layout. 7 seconds from there to the home page.

Mine is inconsistent; sometimes 30 sec, sometime about 50-60 sec. Seems to me that synchronization with cloud makes this issue.
no difference to me. Sometimes blank loads longer than loaded layout

I'm trying it a few times to get an idea of range. This last load took 10 seconds. (it is now installing an update, going to let it finish, index, and restart a few more times)
quickest time (happened once): 7 seconds.Longest time (happened once): 22 seconds.I wonder why the 15 second range?Most were between 10 and 15 seconds however.
Oh, boy! In comparison my machine sounds pretty OPTIMIZED, Steve! I have about the same hardware setup, except I have two HDD:s and Verbum is on the second drive: Verbum 5.2b SR-1 starts in 21 seconds. The CPU is what might differ the most, I have a very early in 2008 i.e. 6⅔ old Core2Quad Q9300 2.5GHz. I'll cherish my machine for sure, already started to:

apples to oranges though Unix - you're running 5.2, he's running 6. 6 makes a lot of performance increases with an x64 processor. I'm guessing Steve has a 32bit installation of windows whereas you likely have a 64 bit version. your chip is also running 1.2ghz faster than his. Both chips use a different architecture - yours being the newer of the two. As I recall yours will have a faster FSB, and more L2 cache by 50-100%.
17 seconds to a blank layout.
MY MBA took 25 seconds to open to my most recent layout. [:)]
I'll be interested to see how long my iMac takes when I open it tomorrow.

13 seconds to blank on a Surface Pro 3
now it takes 7 seconds with a blank layout, before up to 1 min. I am confused, why there is so much difference
The variation is probably due to the heavy load on the Faithlife servers
And to be clear, those times were after a cold start, memory clear. Closing out Verbum and then restarting:
20 seconds to a blank layout, 3 seconds to the home page after that.
8 seconds for me. Perhaps the problem is with Michael's Surface 2 rather than Logos 6. Attempting to cram a laptop into a tablet is bound to require some compromises. The new Core M chips seem more promising, but there we are talking Surface 4 which has not even been released yet.
Mine will be taking 3 days to load, I'm still downloading massive update from Monday morning. Sigh....[:(]
FWIW, load times are very unpredictable. L5 is noticeably faster than L4, but since L6 is a larger new release, I expect it not to be all that much faster opening, but faster in use.
Mine were too. I had Firefox 33.0.1 running in the background with very few tabs. Do You run 64-bit Windows 8.1 like I do? How many bit L6 do You have. Since mine is an older version it's 32-bit:

It took 26 seconds to open Logos Home.

Sorry no, not the same. Win7, 64-bit OS, standard operating system services running plus internet security software. No other applications running.
As mentioned, I have noted a difference between first time run and subsequent run under same conditions.
Of course, these are not scientific measures (I am using a digital hand operated timer - click mouse and click timer by hand at the same time) but they bare out the subjective experience I have had in the past with other applications. I would say from unempirical observation that the startup time of L6 to blank layout is improved from L5 and Home Page load is greatly improved.
I have Win 8.1 on a dual-core laptop and I can say that the operating system boots faster than my Win 7 desktop. I have not loaded L6 there at this point in time. I have not noticed any appreciable difference after boot in the loading of applications. First time load takes longer than subsequent loads. I can let you know what the timing is there after I do that.
I had Bitdefender (not the very latest version I guess) antivirus:
Win7, 64-bit OS, standard operating system services running plus internet security software. No other applications running.
Okay, I made considerable progress. I set it to open to three columns, with passage guide open , but all the passage guide items shut, in the first column, one Bible open in the second column, and BDAG and HALOT open in the third column. From click to open to ready to use was 24 seconds.
I did not realize that I had two antivirus programs running in memory and closed one of them.
I think that 24 seconds is okay, more than a minute less than before.

... and?
My 1-year-old 8-core i7 laptop just took 95 seconds. Blah!
I wish the devs could work out how to fast-start the app, and throw all the sync and update checks and rubbish to a background thread! I'd rather have to restart on the odd times where there was something new and important that needed to load, than every restart paying such a high cost startup.
Jim does your laptop have a SSD or HDD.
My 2 year old Asus with i3, 8GB Ram, Windows 64bit. Loading L6 to a blank layout is 20 - 25 sec.
Hi Lee,
Its got a "slow" 1TB drive but only 5400 RPM I think. Not SSD. Around 40 GB of 880 GB free, and recently defragged.
I just retimed startup and this time it was 17 seconds. Maybe something "really bad" was going on during the "phone home" phases last time.
This time it was loading to ESV in a single window. Last time was to blank and it really was 95 seconds - I timed it to the music jingle (around 80 seconds) and then a little more until the UI became ready.
I dislike the music on startup, but I'd turned it on so I'd know when it came ready. Kind of sad to need that!
If its really going to be 15-20 seconds most times, I can live with that and consider that acceptable. Good even!
Jim
If you ever upgrade to a SSD it will make a very big change, it was like a new computer for me when i replaced the HDD on mine.
Good to hear it running better for you.

I installed an SSD two weeks ago and it is great.
Start up time to 3 columns with Passage Guide open, NIV 1984 open, and BDAG open in the columns is down to 21 seconds today. About where I was with Logos 5. That one minute twenty seconds yesterday had me bothered. But I am happy, happy, happy again. After all who knows what I might want to do with that extra minute each day!
Depends on the day for me. This morning (offline) it opened in about 10 seconds, but I have waited as long as 2 minutes before.
15.96 seconds to a blank layout. 14.4 seconds to load my default layout. Seems longer when I'm not timing it though.
Setting "Use Internet" set to Yes
10 seconds to a blank layout.
16 second to Home.
17 seconds to a layout with 11 resources and 6 panels.
Setting "Use Internet" set to No
6 seconds to a blank layout
9 seconds to Home.
13 seconds to a layout with 11 resources and 6 panels
Occasionally the Internet sync will really slow it down, and it will take around 30 seconds. From what I have seen, by far the area where Faithlife probably could most easily speed up the startup time would be by optimizing the way the Internet is accessed - if the Homepage speed improvements in v6 are any indication, hopefully this is in fact possible.
Currently I have 29 resources and that took about 55 seconds.
Booting to a blank screen took 24 seconds.
Some of you are getting much better times that me but this is not a big issue for me since I leave Logos open most of the time.
@20.82 beats
Opened to a layout with ~40 resources open and three searches. took 15 seconds. 7-10 in general for the home page. Just tried opening to a blank layout and that took 10 seconds as well.
18 secs opening to home page/ blank page 13 sec
Every one needs to check this the same way.
In the command box type "close all".
Synchronize with Logos.
Close the program.
Now, hold the CTRL button down when you start Logos6. Wait...Wait. Once it loads.. close it down.
Go to your file menu and in documents there is a directory called Logos Log Files. One of the files is named Logos.log. Double click it to open it.
Now do a search CTRL F and type "main window"
It will give you the date and time how may seconds it takes to load to the main window.
Now our times ignore our personal settings and we have something to compare our computer strength with.

Okay...I tried it (without the hold down on CTRL part, which I don't think you need): Three runs—11.8, 12.6, 11.6 seconds. Average 12 seconds to the blank main window.
