This surprises me, because I also used Shredder classic to test. However I use
only 3-4-5 emd format tb's. Maybe you use some 6 man tb's which is slower? Wait,
my defaults.res contains already a valid path, so you may be right, I will try
it.

Tried it, even with a false tb path it boots in 1 second here. So you use 6 man?

Won't be a problem of course. Will put it on my list.
