Fabric Notebook - session startup (default) vis Public Library startup duration
Hi dgwilson, for more explanation about the default starter pools tayloramy mentioned and expected startup times for various scenarios when using custom environments, check the page What is Apache Spark compute in Microsoft Fabric?.

Hi dgwilson,
THis is expected behaviour.
The default spark pool is always warm, Fabric keeps it running so you cna quickly connect to it.
As soon as you have a custom pool (which your enviornment with a custom library makes) then it is a cold start and Fabric needs to spin up the new pool and get spark running.
