I
have this issue as well and Stephen Blair from Soft put this
together...
(it
doesn't solve the problem, but it is at least a good work-around for the
moment
I
now have 2 shortcuts to XSI. One starts it with the workgroup and the other
without.
Type
in a text file and save at a .bat file
Start XSI and load the workgroup "U:\My Workgroup"
(at)echo off
call
"C:\Softimage\XSI_5.0\Application\bin\setenv.bat"
echo data_management.workgroup_appl_path=U:\My
Workgroup > %XSI_USERHOME%\Data\Preferences\workgroups.xsipref
start ""
"%XSI_HOME%\Application\bin\xsi.exe"
Start XSI with no workgroups:
(at)echo off
call
"C:\Softimage\XSI_5.0\Application\bin\setenv.bat"
echo
data_management.workgroup_appl_path= >
%XSI_USERHOME%\Data\Preferences\workgroups.xsipref
start ""
"%XSI_HOME%\Application\bin\xsi.exe"
hope it helps, at least temporally
:-)

Again
for me it seems to be tied to the workgroup. I've quite a
few plugins and stuff there but I've had these in there for months now. It's
the accumulative thing that concerns me, plus, I could live with the slow
startup but 2-3 seconds for every property page, that's a no-no. Especially
for the big ones.

I don't know if it has anything to do with your scenario, but I
observed on many occasions that if I crash during a render region,
subsequent launches are much, much slower. I don't know if it has anything
to do with memory, crash files/logs being read, or else, but sometimes
cleaning my user can help, but not always. One day it is fast again and I
still don't have a clue.

This is getting daft. Seems to be
taking longer and longer to kick XSI off and it's starting to badly affect
the bringing up of property pages too. A few weeks ago it was taking about
a minute to kick off XSI, now it's taking two with not really much added
to the workgroup. simply getting a grid or a sphere takes 2 seconds.
Anyone else seeing it getting worse?
