Bug: ESV non-responsive when opening for first time

Firstly, there appears to be a huge amount of background activity going on:

• Resource updates
• Metadata updates
• Document indexing

This is all causing a lot of contention on the disk. (If this is happening every single time you run the application, then something is wrong and we need to dig into that more.)

The performance problem with the ESV may be related to visual filters. Firstly, try disabling non-search-based Visual Filters, such as reported speech. Also try turning off the reverse interlinear ribbon (or inline display) if you have those on. Does this improve performance at all?

Secondly, we can look into how much of a problem search-based VFs are. These are evaluated on a background thread so they shouldn't freeze the UI, but they may cause disk contention that blocks UI operations. The VFs that seem particularly slow are:

• you NOTEQUALS  <LN 1-93>
• he NOTEQUALS  <LN 1-93>
• "signs of the end", "nation will rise", "hear of war", "false christ", earthquakes, betray, hatred,  abomination
• lemma:εἰ@CAC  BEFORE 7 words  @V??I
• lemma:ἐάν@CAC BEFORE 6 words @V??S
• lemma:εἰ@CAC  BEFORE 6 words  @V??O
• <Bible jn 3:16>
• "some manuscripts add",  "some manuscripts insert", "some manuscripts omit"
• "son of man" NEAR (clouds, power, glory)
• {Section <PreachingTheme Marriage>}

It's not sufficient to simply uncheck these on the VF menu; you need to delete them (or change them to apply to a resource other than the ESV). Does doing that improve anything?
