I just noticed, when I tried to install the latest beta on my machine, that the slow shutdown times for Tb are back again.
It takes literally minutes for TB to disappear from memory (and to release the EXE file) after the last 'maintenance screen' in the shutdown cycle has been hidden. I am not sure in which version this was reintroduced, but I would not be surprised if this is somehow linked to the new index format. One difference with the previous slow shutdowns, is that Tb allows you to start a new copy of the program before the old program is removed from memory.
