Is there a way to make Quicken open faster?

The easiest is to use the Save a Copy feature in QM2007 and select the date range to create a new data file with more limited data.
That said, how big is your data file? On what Mac are you running new QMac? What type of drive?
BTW, QM2007 still runs on Mojave. It can also still run on Catalina but only in a Virtual Machine running Mojave or older (but requires a bit of technical know-how).Have Questions? Help Guide for Quicken for Mac

If you want to split some of your data in Qmac subscription, there is no equivalent feature currently built-in. You would have to do what you describe manually.
Meanwhile, you can add your VOTE to Add "Save a Copy" feature (similar to "Year End Copy").
First, click on the underlined link above to go there, then click the little grey triangle under the VOTE count at the top of page 1 in the blue banner, so your vote will count for THIS feature and increase its visibility to the developers by seeking to have the features you need or desire end up in the latest version (it may take a moment for your vote to register).

Do you have Q set to update your security Quotes upon opening? That can add to the time.The number of categories has no impact upon opening time.What do you mean by 'remove files from before 2010"? Q only opens a single Q data file at a time. Perhaps, do you mean "accounts from before 2010"?Lastly, have you taken a look into validating your file?
- First, take a backup, just in case.
- Then, FILE, File Operations, Validate and Repair. BE SURE that "Validate File" and "Rebuild Investing Lots" (if present) are checked before you
- Click OK.

What I mean by removing before say 2010 is this, I duplicate my data file, rename one as Kleeberg pre 2010 and then, other file remove all the transactions before 2010. Is there a way to do that?
I also plan to have an historic copy of my data in Mac Q2007 through December 2019 and will keep it on a pre Mojave computer.Quicken user since 1997 when Dollars and $ense died.0 -

Discovered the issue. It opens slowly if the last window open was budgets or Home. If it is an account, it opens quickly. I am good with it as it.Quicken user since 1997 when Dollars and $ense died.1
