After start there was almost exactly 60 seconds of "nothing".
The delay was there in the previous versions, but now it got even bigger.
This delay can easily cause "wtf?" moment for people who don't know how to open the task manager and make sure that the process has started.
Isn't it possible to show interface
first, and then do the startup work, probably in a separate thread? You have 14 of them already! Why, by the way?

70 Mb of memory? For a program that is supposed to be constantly running?

Scary thing is that it tried to install some sort of driver 3 times. "WMIApSrv" and 2 "unknown".
After I denied, it started and seems to be working Ok. Do you run some sort of performance analysis?
Maybe that's why so much memory and so many threads...

HDD activity is pretty much the same. If there is a difference, it's not noticeable. Still annoying.
Aha, but it ended noticeably sooner. That's good.

Having a single password field for encrypting the wallet made me uneasy. Maybe it's better to show 2 fields from the start, rather than confirm later.
Wallet encryption seems working Ok.

Resizing "Send Coins" dialog produces bad results. Why is it resizable? Address Book and Transaction Details dialogs are resizable to zero. That's not good.
Main window is also resizable to zero - that's even worse!

List of transactions cannot be sorted by clicking on the column headers.

What's the difference between "All Transactions" and "Sent/Received"? Isn't sending and receiving all you can do?
That's it so far.
