Bulk Crap Uninstaller 4.1.0.31668 (I have this problem in previous versions too),
200+ programs.

Boot less than a minute.

~8 minutes boot.

It was probably because BCU had to count how big the applications were on HDD, and there were many small files + a slow/fragmented drive. After first run BCU saved these results so it doesn’t have to recalculate it all anymore.

Other applications load quickly because they don’t try to detect sizes of applications (and other data) if it’s not already in registry.

As for what to do about this - I’m not sure if it’s possible to calculate application sizes faster, and without calculating missing sizes the applications won’t show up on the treemap on the bottom.

Hello!

Which steps take the most time? Is BCU getting stuck on a particular step, for example windows features?
