Startup performance has much more to do with hard drive performance than CPU
or RAM. Does your computer have one of the more performance-castrating virus
scanners such as McAfee or Symantec (using on-access scanning)? Also, I've
had problems in the past with Qt Creator accessing network files. If Qt
Creator or your project are on a network share, try moving them to the local
hard drive.
