Item number one is still a bit of a mystery. The init
script is notdramatically different between our 3.5
server and our 4.0 server. Asomewhat unscientific
attempt to load the 4.0 init script into a 3.5server
showed a similar slowdown, so we do not currently
believe thatthis slowdown is due to a change in the
AOLserver core threadinitialization code between 3.5
and 4.0 (but we haven't totally ruledthat out). The
one difference we do know of is the use of tcl
packages,but its not yet clear to us how that might
dramatically affect theinitialization time.
* If auto_path has a lot of directories to check, then
it will take a while to search through the filesystem.
This *may* be the problem you see with packages. When
you do a [package require] it searches for that
package based on the auto_path variable. So, if there
are alot of directories, then the longer it will take
to search. You could try an experiment, and try using
source/load instead of [package require], or see what
auto_path is set as, to see if it is too long. If it
is long, try trimming that to just what is actually
needed.
