[Therion] Therion runtime cmd window lag on compile with Windows 11

Does anyone notice a long delay after pressing the compile button in
XTherion, before the Therion cmd window starts echoing processing progress?

 

Any suggestions as to cause and possible solutions?

Interested in setups that do and do not exhibit this behaviour.

 

Around October last year I swapped out my aging Win10 device for a fast new
Win11 device.

Soon after I noticed that XTherion would 'hang' for 5 - 7 seconds before
opening the cmd window that echos Therion's progress through the thconf
process.

It was around the time that changes were being made to the behaviour of the
cmd window, circa 6.3.3+ and I loosely attributed the lag in processing to
that.  Especially since otherwise Therion would process the thconfigs 2x to
10x faster than with my old device.

 

I've recently being editing projects and needing to compile then every 15 -
30 seconds.  The 6 s lag has become tiresome, especially for small runs that
otherwise take less than 1 s!

 

Thinking might be a change in Therion I just installed versions back as far
as 6.0.5 from around February 2022. 

The problem persisted so I conclude the lag is due to Win11 or something to
do with my current device, and not due to Therion.

 

I've had a browse through Windows Security Smart Application Control and
Reputation-based Protection, and disabling likely settings has had no
impact.  I've tried disabling Virus and Threat Protection settings real-time
protection and tamper protection and also no change.
