Hello Scott,
I tested this sample with C1Command build 4.1.20133.19598 and could not observe any time lag. I tested this issue on Windows 8 32-bit machine.
Please check if the controls are licensed as the delay might be caused because of a nag screen.
Also, check if you have an active internet connection. Our controls try to connect to internet (VeriSign) for the first time before loading. However, this is not a problem that exists only with ComponentOne controls. It is a function of the .NET framework as the mechanism is used by the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) to verify code-signed .NET assemblies. Part of the verification process requires an online look-up to check whether the certificate with which the assembly is signed has been revoked and is no longer valid. Windows does this by downloading a CRL (Certificate Revocation List). The first time a code-signed assembly is loaded by the .NET CLR, the CRL is downloaded from the certificate provider’s server and cached on the system.
If the control is licensed and you have an active internet connection and still you are getting a delay, could you please let me know your environment details.
Thanks,
Richa
