Cold start of Slicer after installing takes long time

I have been testing the preview builds lately on my Mac. After unpacking the slicer DMG file on the desktop, the first time launch of slicer almost take a minute. There are no extension or anything. Is this normal?

There is this message in the log file, which am I not sure what it means:

2024-11-27 08:42:16.474 Slicer[19293:7600256] WARNING: Secure coding is not enabled for restorable state! Enable secure coding by implementing NSApplicationDelegate.applicationSupportsSecureRestorableState: and returning YES.

I haven’t looked into the details, but yes, when you have a new version or even a new build of a developer version on mac it takes quite a while. I think it’s doing some kind of inspection of each shared library and then caches the result for faster startup the next time.
