I didn't install "H" because of the feedback here, so the reading the tea leaves is a wise choice. Going forward I am also on the fence now because of the massive size of the "start menu." 87MB is a massive addition for the functionality presented. This still makes little sense to me.

I feel for anyone having these issues since H is working well here...    And I actually like the new Start Screen, though I'm still not quite used to waiting the extra seconds for it to re-open between projects - it consistently opens for me in about two seconds with an active internet connection.

Same here.

Projects and the startup screen opened quickly for me, looks great, but does feel heavy. 

Spot the people with three projects and a SSD :) and a gigabit internet connection...

No SSDs here.  And a "standard speed" Comcast connection.   
 
It just doesn't have any real delay on my system.  I can't explain why...
 

I just upgraded to the "I" version without waiting to read the tea leaves first because it's so easy to roll back.  Now, with the new start menu enabled, my newest project still opens a bit slower than without the start menu, but it's faster than before and acceptable for my needs.  I don't know if I'm hallucinating or not, but I'll keep my eye on this, and if anything changes, I'll report back.  Thanks, CW.

I just updated to Ipswich.  I don't see an option for Hopkinton in my CCC.  Did Cake take it off line or something?

I'll wait at least a couple of weeks for some feedback first before I update.
