Ok, something is seriously wrong if it takes 8 minutes to startup
SlimServer in this setup and Custom Browse uses 7 of these minutes.

I'm running my living room setup on a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (1.8 GHz) 
with 1GB of memory and it takes less than a minute to startup
SlimServer. I think its about 15-30 seconnds, but I haven't measured
exactly, and this also includes the Mixed Tag module with about 3000
tracks. On the development machine a Pentium M 1.7GHz it takes between
10-15 seconds. Both these machines should be a lot slower than yours.

The difference I can see between our setups are:
- I'm running Linux and you are running XP
- Your CPU and memory should make your machine a lot faster than mine
- I'm running a separate MySQL installation and you are probably
running the one bundled with SlimServer, but this won't affect Custom
Browse.
- The Multi Library configuration may differ.

Some questions:
1. How many libraries do you have defined in the Multi Library plugin
?
2. Is any of the "Included Custom Browse menus" checkboxes checked for
any of the libraries in the Multi Library plugin ? 
3. Do you have the debug option enabled for Custom Browse in "Server
Settings/Plugins" ? (If enabled, this will slow down startup
performance)

Some things to try follows below, try them separately so we can see
which one that (if any) that affects the performance.
- Could you try to disable the Multi Library plugin and enable the
Custom Browse plugin and see if it gets a lot faster ?
- If you haven't any of the "Included Custom Browse menus" checkboxes
checked, could you try to goto the "Multi Library" section of "Server
Settings/Plugin" and unmark the "Selectable Custom Browse menus"
option. Then restart and see of it gets any faster.
