1. 13:01:44 - 13:01:47 - The slowest thing that happens during the first
three seconds is that your BA payloads are extracted to a temp folder. How
large is your BA payload? How many files are in your %TEMP%? That's the
stuff to look at.

2. 13:01:47 - 13:01:51 - The next 4 seconds are spent spinning up NETFX and
whatever it takes for your BA to load. There is basically no Burn code
running at this time so you'll need to look at how quickly your managed
code can start.

3. 13:01:51 - 13:01:56 - This code is all in your managed BA. You'll want
to look at performance here.

I saw the VS guys investigating the performance of their BA recently and
two things seemed to be taking all the time that mapped to #2 and #3 above

#2 WPF takes a bit to warm up, especially with more complex XAML documents.
The VS BA had a very complex single page XAML that was slowing the first
page come up.

#3. The VS BA used XML Serialization to read some XML files. XML
Serialization is slow because it generates an assembly to do the
serialization.

Hi,
thank you for your interest in our case.

Here is a log that the simple bootstrapper installation produced on one of

acceptable) , but how can I know for sure?

The Burn log file has timestamps for just about every action. Can you share
the log file?
