Yeah, it's almost as bad as the calculator in Window 10. It's completely ridiculous for ANY calculator app to take that long to load on a modern PC.

What’s wrong with the windows one? It’s instant and it calculates things?!?

It takes a couple seconds to start the first time you launch it. Very much not instant.

Yeah, I'm confused as well. I just tried Calc on win10 for the first time in weeks or months and it opened before I could count 2 seconds. This is from a SSD where it won't have been in cache.

It's 100% instant on my computer. No delay from pressing enter and it opening.
