First, check for other running programs which may be monopolizing system resources. Right-click the task bar and select Start Task Manager. Click the CPU column to sort and look for programs which are using significant CPU time. Consider if any can be closed. In particular programs which make heavy use of the hard drive can cause DVD Profiler to start and operate more slowly.
Each of the following will change/remove some functionality, so read before trying, but each is also reversable if you don't like the change.
Taken together, these changes will shave up to 40% from the program startup time. Start with #1 or #2 and check the performance change before continuing.
1) Uninstall (not just unload) any plugins you don't use. You can uninstall the ones that ship with DVD Profiler by uninstalling the program (don't select to remove your database or other important items), then reinstalling without plugins.
2) Select Tools->Options->Defaults and under "Regions to Include," uncheck any regions you don't need loaded. This affects the list of available profiles in the Add to Collection window.
3) Add a registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Invelos Software\DVD Profiler, called 'DisableEffects' as a DWORD value and set it to '1'. Program windows will not fade in/out.
4) Add a registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Invelos Software\DVD Profiler, called 'ConserveMemory' as a DWORD value and set it to '1'. You may notice flickering or extra individual item painting in some areas such as the collection thumbnail list.
