RavenDb increased startup time of winform app

Question

I use ravendb as embedded database in my winforms project. Everything works as it should but I do need to check with someone startup time of winform main window. When I'm added IDocumentStore initialization startup time is increased by 5,6 seconds.

inside MainForm.cs I have

private IDocumentStore store = new EmbeddableDocumentStore { 
            RunInMemory = false };

public MainForm()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   store.Initialize();
}

am I doing something wrong here with IDocumentStore instance ?

If you don't need to access the database right away, you might consider launching the application first, and then initializing it in a separate thread. You'd have to have some kind of "loading..." indicator in your UI, and a flag to check if the initialization is complete so you don't attempt to access the database before it is fully initialized.

No, this an Embedded instance and it takes RavenDB a few seconds to initialize the store, that is expected.
