I have seen all kinds of various delays.   They are all related to the loading
the DatabaseManager.   If you time it, it is the
DatabaseManager.registerDatabase().
I wrote a simple CollectionPool that is a Singleton to load it one time.   If
you
are doing servlets, load at startup and put it into the app session.   Also,
each time
you create a collection there is a bit of time.   According to Kimbro you can
keep the collections around.   Your issue would be whether to share collections

between sessions.   From my experience, start a thread to create the
collections
when ever the client connects and keep them around until the session dies.
