Big launch speed improvement for Windows
It addresses the following reported issue:
This was due to Windows Defender scanning the app’s resource files on startup.
I’ve managed to bundle all the files into a single ASAR file, including the native modules, to reduce the scanning time.
It now starts up in ~3 seconds on my machine.
Thanks for helping me identify the cause of the issue, @Micha_Huhn, @Magnus, and @Lukas!
Reduced app size by ~120MB
There is a good side effect of optimizing the app’s build process – the app size has been significantly reduced!
- macOS app size:
- v5.11.0-beta.0: 542.1MB
- v5.11.0-beta.1: 419.9MB
