A faster MAMEUI startup surely. Now the MAMEUI.INI file that has to be parsed at startup has about 19000 * 3 lines. Of course the solution should be try to improve the structure of the .INI, not remove games from the list... but in the meantime...
On a side note for who's interested in a faster MAMEUI startup and in a cleaner list: learn how to compile MAME/MAMEUI... take note of the name of ALL those fruit machine games and remove them from MAME.LST file in the source before compiling. All drivers will be compiled I think but those games will not be showed in the MAMEUI list. I still have not tried this workaround, so maybe someone could try and let me know?
