How much RAM?  I'm on XP Pro/Service Pack 2, 1.59 Ghz laptop, Lotus Notes
and Client Access running.

I will admit that I see that kind of time on users with limited installs.
On mine with a full install, two connections to the same box (one under my
profile, one under QSECOFR), Management Central and plugins for three ASC
products, it took 3.5 minutes first thing after loading Client Access and
Lotus Notes.  If I start it later in the day it's even worse.

I've always suspected that it's the RAM that bottlenecks both WDSC (which I
gave up as unusable) and iNav.  Kind of pointless to me, as I simply
use/write/live without green screen equivelents for everything I can in
Navigator.  While I'm hardly qualified to judge what's the ultimate cause,
I've noted that Java is a dog whether it's loaded in the browser or by
Client Access.  I don't think these are that out of date:  Java 2 Runtime
Environment SE, v.1.4.2.06 and J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0, Updates 1, 2 &
4.
