Why does my PC sound like a lawnmower whenever I launch the Bitshares client?

almost no performance improvements have been done so far .. there's plenty of work to be done there ..
focus currently is the leightweight client which will offer a client that will not require the huge blockchain ..

devs are working hard!

I updated to version 0.4.24 just yesterday, so I know the blockchain in the wallet on my hard drive is up to date.

Even so, when I launch the bts client and it takes about 5 minutes of hard drive activity before the login screen finally appears.

As the bts blockchain has gotten longer, the time it takes to launch the client is increasing.

I wonder: a year from now, how long will it take to launch the client?

Anyone else have a similar experience?
