It scans for the entire string "The Elder Scrolls Online EU/game/client/eso.exe" 4 folders deep. So in your case you are only 1 folder deep until it can find "The Elder Scrolls Online EU/game/client/eso.exe". It looks for the entire path string, thats why its so fast for ESO. WOW detection only searches for Wow.exe and it searches forever until it can find it. So if it never finds WoW Minion will load very slow. So I disabled WOW on our API so Minion wont try and find it and put in a blocker ticket to get this solved asap.

Those who have WOW installed don't have this issue as bad since Minion will stop looking after a set time after it finds 1 install. Minion will also no longer look again after restarting once its found 1 install. (My machine with 4 1tb 7200rpm drives it finds WOW in about 1min on the last drive, but then if i restart Minion the next time it loads in a few seconds because it doesnt try to find WOW again because it has one in the minion.xml)

So there are some things we can do to fix this and I hope to get a patch out soon so we can re-enable WOW. I didn't notice it in testing along with my co-workers because we all have WOW installed.

Thank you for alerting us about this, its hard to tell if something is an edge case or something that effects a lot of people unless people post about it here.
