Hi,
Three minutes is very long.
Have you considered database connection pooling?
Keep other initialisation(s) outside the login servlet.
Make you sure you are not talking about the first connection at your
servlet - wich normally implies an extra potentially expensive
Servlet.init() call.
The refresh meta tag for 60 seconds has the disadvantage that even
when processing takes only 5 seconds the user will wait 60
Bye,
Cezar.
