I am creating a WPF Application that uses Fluent library.

On my computer with Windows 7, 2GB RAM and AMD Triple Core processor, after double clicking on the program icon, The Splash image shows after about 1-2 seconds.

But on my brother’s old computer with Windows XP, 512MB RAM and Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz Processor (Single core), after double clicking on the program icon, First, a process called PresentationFontCache.exe runs and it uses almost 100% of CPU for some seconds. And Total time is needed for displaying the initial Splash image is almost 30 seconds (or more).

I don’t want that some users have to wait 30 seconds for displaying splash image and about 7-8 seconds for loading application. (my application load process takes 7-8 seconds)

Also I think 1-2 seconds is too high for just display initial SplashImage, It should display immediately.

How to solve this problem?

    Yeah, and guess waht – starting internet exlporer also takes a long time. This is not a computer, it is crap. At least 1gb memoery would help. WPF apps are not super low resorue aapps, they are made for modern OS.

    Use the .NET standard flash mechanism (that loads even before the runtime is fully initialzied).

    THEN load the WPF code.
