If you've got tens of files on an old machine that's probably to be expected. It's efficient with large files, written in C, and on a modern computer could open that many easily. My six year old laptop opens ten files from an encrypted drive in 2ish seconds.

I suppose it could load the interface first, then load the files, then parse and highlight them after the window is up, but don't feel like it would make a lot of difference until its done.

You may find projects useful. Can open the dozen files for one project, then close it, then open the next group from another project. Instead of every file you potentially might want to work on.
