First, please apologize if any mistake and the inconvenience. I'm new with conda and anaconda.
I'm struggling with the time that takes the activation of my conda environment (up to 10 seconds) - the 'activate' is slow.
Is the any way to make this timeless? Some people recommend using the root instead of the environment. I would like to keep using environments for the different needs of each project.
I'm using Windows 10 (Home - version 1607), 15.9GB usable RAM, 64-bits OS and x64 processor with Intel i7 2.00GHz CPU.

One option for speeding up conda is to reduce the index. The index is reduced by conda based upon the user's input specs. It's likely that your repodata contains package data that is not used in the solving stage. Filtering out these unnecessary packages before solving can save time.
No, you do not have to activate conda every time you open CMD. This is simply a matter of choice for the developer.
To activate your Conda environment, type source activate <yourenvironmentname> . Note that conda activate will not work on Discovery with this version. To install a specific package, type conda install -n <yourenvironmentname> [package] . To deactivate the current, active Conda environment, type conda deactivate .
Generally, you won't find too much of a difference between conda activate and the old source activate , except that it's meant to be faster, and work the same across different operating systems (the latter difference makes conda activate a huge improvement IMO).
I suspect that conda just does packages freshness check when it starts, over the internet.
In your condarc, try to set
auto_update_conda: False
If that does not help, also try
offline: True
(See the docs.)
