Slow Addin load

We have broken down our solution in 3 Add-In express adins but do experience a very slow load behaviour in Excel 2003.

Its seems that on some computers each Addin needs 2-4 secs to initialize.

Some questions:

- Whats the overhead of loading one addin?
- Would you recommend to build rather one addin to get a faster startup time
- Would you recommend to reduce the amount of task panes (we have 4 in our solution) to get a faster startup time?
- Would you recommend to reduce the amount of command bars to get a faster startup time?
- Would you recommend to disable the ribbon code for Excel 2003 to get a faster startup time?
- What can we do to get a faster startup time?

Hi Andreas,

Every component you place on the add-in module increases a bit the delay you may see when the add-in is loading. Anyway, please take a look at the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163655.aspx article in the MSDN magazine.

BTW Are you able to reproduce the delay with a newly created add-in project?
