No difference when I turn off Zonealarm.<br>

Have 100 objects in current plan opening. Tried smaller number of<br>
objects in plan and more objects and load time is the roughly same.<br>
Cursor turns to hour glass.<br>
<br>
Earlier versions, back about 3 or so, painted much, much faster for me.<br>

I don't see that here (on XP or 7). There must be something else<br>
inhibiting performance. In fact I ran 2.0b65 on Win 7 this morning and<br>
was quite impressed by it's startup time (1-2 secs).<br>
<br>
How many objects in the plan that's opening?<br>
<br>
I don't have any virus/security software running. That's often the<br>
cause. Perhaps you can temporarily disable it and see if that improves<br>
matters.<br>
