Thunderbird slow startup on MacOS
I use Thunderbird on Windows and on Mac. I'm wondering why the startup time on Mac is significantly longer on MacOS. I'm currently on Tahoe 26.0.1 but Thunderbird has always been a slow starter. Can I change any setting to remedy this. At the moment I have two mail accounts configured both Gmail.

What versions of Thunderbird?
Define "slow" please in terms of numbers.
Version, see screen shot.
Startup time 12,96 seconds.
As comparison Mac mail starts in 3,26 seconds and MS Outlook starts in 5,05 seconds on the same Mac.
In a virtual win 11 machine on the same Mac I get a startup time of 4 seconds with the same version of Thunderbird.
