With Mike's extensive (about 2 hours on phone/breeze) help we tested all possible reasons for the initial delay in loading (had been about 5 seconds). A few adjustments to the CF Administrator and a freshly re-started computer made the issue vanish.
While doing that, a far more interesting and harder-to-detect problem was solved: the <cfchart> tag crashed CF MX7. To make the story short, it was one (or several) of the fonts installed in the system (the suspects are some fonts used to produce chess diagrams). As soon as we deleted those fonts, the problem went away. In any case, I'm a VERY happy camper and want to publicly thank Macromedia (and Mike, especially) for the wonderful tech support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
