Thanks for response, Erland. I like your fantastic work and your great
plugins, so I'm unlucky not to use the Custom Browse Plugin at the
moment because of its startup performance. In my actual slimserver
plugin configuration (see below) the Custom Browse plugin is definitely
the performance-switch. Is it off, Slimserver starts in less than 1 min.
Is it on, Slimserver needs up to 8 min. to start as a service. What I
don't know is, whether it may be caused by a special combination of the
Custom Browse plugin AND another one. As we discussed in another thread
I have deactivated the Mixed Tag module in Custom Scan, so this is for
sure not the reason. And my hardware should be powerful enough.

Slimserver is running on a nearly blank Windows XP installation
(seperate partition) to save all resources for the application.
Hardware: Intel Pentium D Dual-Core-CPU (3.0 GHz) and 3GB RAM. This
should be a very comfortable situation for slimserver....
Hope you can help, Erland.
