Hi WoodmacJB,
If you provide more details on issues 2 and 3 and some steps to reproduce we can check them in our internal lab environment.
You are right about the cold start of VuGen, it is a bit longish at ~12 seconds but compare that to the entire time you are going to spend within the application and it is clearly negligible (warm start is ~4 seconds).
I also think that ~6 seconds to cold start recording is not that bad (warm start is about half of that) since at least half of that is wasted on starting the AUT process.
In any case, we are open for this kind of feedback both through this forum and through the "Send Feedback" options in VuGen Help menu. We addressed some of the stability and performance issues reported by customers through the aforementioned channels in LR11.52 Patch 1 which is available to download from the support site (see links below). Please keep sending us this valuable feedback as it helps us to improve the product!
Thank you for evaluating the product,
Boris
