  • Well, as you predicted, adding the fifth Collection back to the G5 (it had been there all along, but moving the dongle back activated it) increased the initial start-up time to 2:10. I guess that means each Colleciton takes additional time. It seems unlikely that adding five more would increase the load time to seven minutes, but it's possible.

    Another issue is that the Collection I "moved" back didn't appear in the Vienna Instruments player even though I ran the directory utility, but I'm not going to worry about that right now.

    But this is because vsldaemon is already running after the "sleep" the same thing happens under WinXP if you hibernate - you get <15s load times quite easily.

    It's a shame the process takes so long. It would be nice if VSL could implement a complete licence scan every 30 days or something rather than every time you use the plugin.

    I find that the scanning process in directory manager (this occurs everytime you have a cold boot) is taking about 6-7 seconds per folder - in OSX (you can watch this happening in Activity Monitor) There are about 60 folders for the full Cube plus appassionata Strings. My MacBook Pro boots the same collections in 5 Minutes 45 seconds. Bit quicker than the G5 but still a looong time!
