The Playlist that it opens contains 55 hours of music. If I open a Playlist with only 47 minutes of music, it takes :47 seconds.

If I change playlists to one which has 13 hours of music, it first says ‘Not Responding’ then takes :50 seconds to open.

The playlist was developed using Hoster 3.321 and works on other laptops using Hoster 3.316.

Microstudio, KHPro, Vogone and Keyrite all open immediately.

I have moved you post to the thread for Hoster 5.06 bug reports.
First thing that comes to mind is are you running an anti-virus program that uses a real-time check of files? This can slow down files opening.
When you opened these was it the first time you opened them or is this every time you open them.
I also would be concerned with the length of these files as 55 hours worth of music in one playlist does seem to be an excessive amount and would make for a very large files. If the last playlist you had open was the 55 hour one, then I could understand Hoster taking a long time to open.
One thing you can try to speed up the opening is to defragment your drive. Even if it is a new drive it may need defragmenting as Microsofts installation of Windows and subsequent updates has never been a clean install.
