I try to understand and improve my application cold start.

I already load as little as possible in the Main().

Now I have a test which gives strange results, and I try to understand what
it means.

test 1:
====
I reboot, launch a small .NET executable, which takes 7 seconds, and launch
my application, which takes 30 seconds.

test 2:
====
I reboot, launch my application, which takes 70 seconds.

If it takes 70 seconds to start an application from a cold reboot,
there's got to be something wrong somewhere. Is it thrashing? Are there
huge data files / assemblies that are extremely fragmented on disk? Is
there a lot of I/O?

FWIW, starting a small .NET executable from a cold restart does not take
7 second on my machine - it takes about 2.7 seconds.
