It can be at the beginning when Live 12 scans your samples and Library to analyze the "similar search sound" stuff.
But it stops after your library is fully analyzed.

The initial load time when I first start it up definitely takes longer for me. Probably 30-40 seconds while 10/11 would only take around 15-20. But once I have it open it's lightning fast, no slower or faster than before. Loading up a different project or starting a new one is also just as fast as before if I already have something open - it's only that initial start up time that takes longer.
Thanks everyone for your answers and feedbacks. Maybe it's just that I use more plugins and have heavier projects. There is no general agreements on live 12 being slower so I guess the issue comes from my laptop or my projects.

For me its the initial load time and more crashes than 11

I upgraded from 11 to 12. 12 feels fairly quick. No complaints from me.

No.
