Hi there,

I still don't think it is documented anywhere, but there is about a 1 minute delay between first run and when IE Mode becomes active. During this time, it is importing your site list XML and creating a file in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data called EmieSiteList.xml.

I've tried prepopulating this file, but at the time I tested it this didn't speed things up unfortunately.

Do you think that will change or is it what it is?

  Couldn't say, sorry. Haven't seen any replies from MS the other times I have posted this information.
