Sorry if I missed it, but I still did not see in your messages that you reproduced the slow startup with conversion on a separate non-VM machine. Also wondering if there is any difference between 4D single user and 4D Server. I have not used 4D Server to convert structures to project mode.
I regularly convert a 17.4 binary structure to 18 project mode for version control. It has over 5000 methods and many hundreds of forms. It only takes a few seconds to export to project mode (using 4D single user). A work-around might be to covert to project mode before moving the structure to the VM server.
