Let me explain what restarting is. No matter what software you use, Windows will always require you to restart.
To run faster, software performs many tasks as soon as you start it up, and this process takes time.
When you’re doing other things, you can get the results directly without having to rerun the calculations, so it runs faster.
If it doesn’t perform calculations at startup but instead does so during normal use, you’ll find it very tedious to use.
Here’s a question: Are the calculations performed at startup different from those performed during the first run? No! Think of software startup as your front door. Your house may have 20 rooms; you might not open every single one, but regardless of which room you choose, you must use the front door.
If you do something that affects the calculation results at startup, the software will ask you to restart.
Some people who buy from us have this question: does the plugin affect the startup speed of SolidWorks? Here’s the answer:
The slower the plugin starts, the more content it contains, and the faster it runs.
In TDO, there are two reboots.
- One is SW restart.
- One is to restart the command window.
We all need to do a lot of things in advance that you can’t see.
An exception is plugins with a lot of UI elements and illustrations; these tend to start slowly because they load a lot of media.
Joke: In a world software competition, the first-place winner wrote 17k of code and ran a 60-second apocalyptic video. There were no media files; it all came down to the code pushing the CPU. This gives you an idea of the difference between code size and media file size.
SW’s speed can’t compare to Catia or Creo. You understand why, right? Simply put, “elegant” comes at a price in software.
