What does Task Manager show is happening when you try to load Main Menu? Is the processor running at 100% or is it loafing? What about memory usage? Is system memory almost used up or is does it have lots of room? If you sort your processes by Memory footprint, is there one that is consuming excessive amounts of memory, causing Windows Virtual Memory to be used? Does the hard drive run continuously when you try to load Main Menu?
What about the Tomcat logs? Any errors being reported? What about the Windows Event Viewer? Does it show any errors? I had an XP system that used to take 3 minutes to go from successful login to display of the desktop that was caused by XP patiently waiting for a non-existent process to time out and would dutifully report the error in the Event Viewer (but not on screen). Maybe something like that is happening when the slow pages are trying to load?
