You can go ahead and skip that last question, sorry folks ;-)

//Loading Workgroup plug-ins: Elapsed time (ms): 72.51

So that's obviously not where the problem is...total time is 13.35 for
startup according to the log, but in fact it takes close to 55 seconds
for XSI to start responding after start-up.
Any ideas?
