Quite honestly, this is not the first time that I get the impression that you must be doing something fundamentally wrong. Rather than going into all the details you are posting now, just two thoughts.

As I'm in the process of creating a new Dragon add-in which requires shutting down and restarting Dragon after each new compile and build, so as to reload the DLL holding the add-in, I typically restart Dragon dozens of times a day, if not a hundred times or more, for when my day job doesn't get in the way. The entire process of starting and loading a profile thus getting Dragon ready to respond takes about 10 seconds on my machine.

As you have mentioned your Dragon log file growing to 25 MB in size in another thread, that's another oddity in my book. For many years, the overall size of the Dragon log file seems to limited to 10,241 kB, and once that limit is hit, a new one is started.
