The problem is in the default preference settings. It does an "Is an
update available" while launching, and it is s-l-o-w (or the Web site
is).

No, it won't be.

Just going to recreate the original condition.

Nope.

Double-click it so that it stays running rather than quitting when done
expanding a file. Go into Preferences, scroll all the way to the right
to the button about checking for updates, click it, and turn off the new
version check.
