all demos and everything I am writing takes 10-15 secounds before it starts (black screen; nothing happens). Is this normal?

please post your code. Your machine specs do not indicate a problem. I will try to recreate it.

Nope not normal.
Usually when in debugmode, everything takes a bit longer.
But not that long... :)

Also make sure you use v1.10 + syncmods!

The only things that could slow it down that much is

Creating losts of Types ie 1,000,000 at the Start of your code
then applying functions to them ect

also loading in two many sound and musics samples at once

When they are bunched at the start this will slow it down

This problem happens on all demos of the registered version 1.10 and in the unreg version 1.09.
