The model file, along with .cat file should not be an issue on startup. It would be a issue with model loading time after you started Rose (unless of course you are launching Rose by double clicking on the model file in the windows explorer), but otherwise would have nothing to do with Rose startup time.
If the problem is slow model load time, as opposed to slow Rose startup, let us know, as this is a different issue. Two suggestion to help try to track down slow Rose load time. 1) Go into addin menu. Make sure you do not have both Version Control and ClearCase addin checked. Uncheck either or both if not being used. NOTE: that if you have ClearCase checked, but don't have ClearCase on the machine, then you will suffer a performance hit (i.e. slow startup). 2) Try downloading the following great free utility Filemon from http://www.sysinternals.com/ What this utility does, is show you all file calls in real time. Suggestion would be to start Filemon, then start Rose. Take a look at what file calls are being made. I know you have stated you turned off Virus checking, but once or twice before going this route, we have discovered that it was not disable as thought. For example if McAfee is active, Filemon will show you a couple thousand or so calls to McAfee. p.s. While you at sysinternals, another excellent utility along the lines of Filemon is regmon, which logs registry calls. This won't help diagnose the above problem, but a nice utility to have in your toolbox. If neither of the above helps, let us know. On most systems, (assuming you are not running a Pentium II, with 64megs of memory), Rose should start up in between 3-20 seconds.

I have around 5 or 6 subunits which are pretty small and overall project size is less than 1 MB. I don't think system memory will be an issue for this. If any one has the solution Please let me know...
