WinRAR Slow in 7?

[messjess]

Anybody else noticed WinRAR is very slow to open up in windows 7 x64? I had been using it for a while on Vista x64 but switched over to 7zip, which is very fast.

How's it running for you? I know i hated the icon for 7zip so i used IconPackager to switch the icon to look like it's WinRAR

AWESOME.

Installed 3.9b4, then Crystal Theme, and it's so fast. You should try out that theme it looks 10 times better then the default one.

Ive always preferred WinRAR to 7zip just because of the GUI (that's the proper term right? haha).

I haven't opened winrar in nearly 8 years.

Just stick to the context menus.
