Hi,

I'm totally new to WO.

Just upgraded to the most recent XCode/WO release, compiled
the HelloWorld WO sample.

When I run the app, the browser opens this URL:

        http://x2.local:49763/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HelloWorld.woa

The slow startup is related to the URL above. Try replacing the server name 'x2.local' with 'localhost' What you have is the default 'Bonjour" server name. I don't know why WebObjects defaults to this as it is unreasonably slow on a mid-range Mac.

To save the annoyance of having to modify the URL on every compile- test iteration you can set this override in the run time arguments. In XCode locate the Executables section near the bottom of the Groups & Files menu. Click on your executable file, "HelloWorld". Now click the Info button at the top. Select the Arguments panel and add a new argument:
        -WOHost localhost

While you are there you can tell XCode to use a consistent port number for testing by setting:
        -WOPort 50000

You can use other spare port numbers if you like. The advantage of using a consistent port number is you can bookmark this on your Mac or better yet on another Mac (or even a PC) if you have two on your desk, one for building and one for testing. The URL on that will begin http://x2:50000/.....

I develop on a MiniMac 1.42 with 1 GB. I upgraded the RAM as soon as I bought it so I don't really know how it would have worked with 512MB but past experience suggest the extra ram improves the experience. I consider it money well spent. I purchased the generic Kingston package rather than the "guaranteed for Mac". This is much cheaper but you have no right to refund or replacement unless it is faulty. i.e, you can't take it back if you made a mistake.
I am using a Kingston KVR333/1GR 1GB PC2700 CL2.5 184 - pin DIMM
