Mine is about the same on my laptop - tho it only has 32megs (not for
long!), so its not supprising. on my home machine (K6-2 350/128meg), it
takes a little over 12 seconds. And this is NOT what I'd call a fast
machine, tho it aint slow either. Thats uncached, as I havn't run it
since I rebooted.
I think your problem is both RAM and CPU, but mostly RAM - get atleast
64meg, or as much as you can afford. 64meg should be the absolute
minimim for serious delphi development (IMO), more if you need to run
database servers, MTS, Visi etc etc.
