FM 7.2 starts much slower than 7.1

[Klaus Daube]

   Dear all,

   FM 7.2 starts very slow compared to 7.1 - what may be the reason?

   Machine: 3 GHz, 1GB RAM, drives C[System[ and H[Programs] are on an SATA 100
   disk

   OS       XP SP2 with all automatic updates

   FM       in both cases with Shlomo Perets' toolbar

   location H:\Adobe\framemaker.72en\FrameMaker.exe

            H:\adobe\FrameMaker.71en\FrameMaker.exe

   Starting FM 7.2b144 for the first time after Windows start

       0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

       7      splash sreen appears and immediately shows 'Fonts'

      34      fonts are loaded and start sequnece continues

              (thats 27 seconds for font business)

      40      FM Window appears, start of plugins etc. begins

   Further starts:

       0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

       5      FM Window appears, start of plugins etc. begins

   Starting FM 7.1p116 for the first time after Windows start

       0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

      10      FM Window appears

   Further starts:

       0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

       2      FM Window appears

   What may be the reason for the much more time consuming font handling in FM
   7.2?
