Comment on RIP Microsoft WordPad. You Will Be Missed
SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 10 months agoI’ll admit I exaggerated slightly (I just opened both today). I have a gaming laptop with a Ryzen 9 5900HX, and opened up both apps from battery power.
WordPad took about 1.5s to open, which is longer than usual.
Word took about 6s to open, which is normal even if I’m plugged in.
Even notepad took over a second to open as well.
I guess I expect more when I have a near top of the line CPU and it pains me to think that it’s even slower for the vast majority of people.

I guess I’m just not too concerned with start up times, having come from the age of HDD. 6 seconds to start, as long as it’s not lagging while I’m using it, is almost unnoticeable.

Yeah that makes sense. I also have a high end SSD so that might also be inflating my expectations.
