I have Microsoft Office 2010 installed natively on my image. I then have a "dummy" thinapp that launches Office (in order to use applinks to programs like adobe acrobat). The issue that I've seen is that launching apps through thinapp takes a fair amount of time longer than natively.
Word - Native: 0.4 seconds, Thinapp 1.5 seconds
Outlook - Native 1.3 seconds, Thinapp 3.8 seconds
I've read that Thinapp should have very little overhead.
Tweaks I've made to Package.ini
AutoStartServices=0
Tried both merged and writecopy
Tried Fast and None for compression
Removed applink for testing purposes
I tried streaming the thinapp from local storage and network with no change in performance. The sandbox is on local storage and I've verified that appdata isn't redirected. I also attended to put Full isolation on the %appdata% and %local appdata% folders.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
