I am unaware of anything that would affect 6.04 security as far as signon
delay time is concerned.  Of course, I'm running 6.0.02.  The only significant
difference between 5.1.01 (which we _WERE_ running) and 6.0.02 has been the
action code and function key-level security in certain programs.  Neither of
the latter should affect signon speed.  Have you checked the joblog of the
users that are taking so long to sign on?  We upgraded to OS/400 V4R1 on our
production box last weekend, and suddenly started getting "Unable to allocate
object Qsumpinsumpinsumpin" messages during S/O release (no, it's _NOT_ a 19
character object name, I just couldn't remember the _REAL_ object name).  The
message was in the joblog, but did not appear to the user nor did it appear in
the system log nor the system operator message queue.  We filed a complaint
with 1-800-WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT (IBM Service) this morning.

The slow user's joblog might provide some insight, I don't see any way that
BPCS could be causing the problem...
