I thought it was because I had large database files, but I just installed UE on a brandnew machine, setup the server and downloaded the grougs. Haven't downloaded any headers yet. But UE is still taking 1m 20+secs to load from the time I hit the shortcut icon until UE hits the screen. Seems like an awful long time.
Running: P4 1.8 Celeron with 1gig ram and 320 gig of diskspace. Panda AV. (I tend to wonder if the Panda AV is the problem). Also have Spybot S&D running.
Anybody else having this slow startup problem?
UE takes long time to load
what stage takes the most time "loading bodies" "reading directories"?
if database has many bodies it needs to read file names from 16 directories and windows is not particularly fast (will take the same time as if you open the directories with windows explorer), so then the answer would be to limit the number of bodies.
it shows a small message box telling what it is doing on load.
but if you didn't download any bodies it should be fast, under 1 second.
try to remove the antivirus maybe this is it.

There is no way to tell what it is doing, since it hasn't loaded the program.
I have not yet downloaded any headers even. Only set up the server and downloaded the newsgroups and subscribed to 5. No headers, no bodies.
I'll try turning off the AV and see what happens. But wouldn't think that would take that long to read the one file. Takes about the same time to do it on the other computer that has probably a 400m database or more.

You should be able to configure Panda to ignore the UE directory. Since bodies are kept only in their original segments in the UE Bodies directory, you would not be likely to see any viruses caught until they are saved. In which case Panda would catch them as they are saved wherever you specify. Therefore, you could safely leave Panda running but ignoring UE's directory.
However, it is strange that with a minimal sized database and no bodies that Panda is holding things up. Maybe you have heuristics set to the highest level? I'm not familiar with Panda but I imagine it has some setting for heuristics in there somewhere.
