    Great thinking for autoclose being a cause of the repeated long initial run times! Actually it is hard to think of a situation where autoclose should be turned on for a database.

    SQL Express loaded on a desktop/laptop supporting a local application.

    I have clients with tens of thousands of that scenario and not a one has autoclose on. The data is just going to be lifted up off of disk again after each closure. I suppose if the app is only run once per NN time (long amount of time there) and the delay inherent is acceptable.

    Just giving the only example I could come up with. I see no other reason for using autoclose.
