Occasional Long Delay After Launching Table

[jupiter]

Hi Tom

I have a fast Core i7 PC with SSD drive and only about 8 windows services running.

All tables normally load instantly, but occasionally I experience a long 10 second or so delay where the arcade ambiance sounds continue playing before my own LaunchBeforeExecutable AHK script runs.

Here you can see several fast table launches, however when I launch LaserWar there is a 10-second delay 'Disposing Display' before my own script is even launched.

Do you have any idea what it can be? It is an issue I have had for several versions of PinballX now. Thanks in advance.

Does it relate to certain games/tables?

I should have said before I couldn't find a pattern. Is there any additional logging I can add? If not I will try a smaller subset of tables to see if I can spot a pattern.
