Oddly, I noticed this behaviour (hesitating on Group) myself on a new
PC (Windows XP Home; VirtualRPC-SE running 4.02; ArtWorks 2.82), but
*only* the first time I ran AW2. If I ran it a second time, and even
if I quit VirtualRPC and restarted it, AW started without a pause.
Very odd; if the cause were a virus checker I would have expected it
to run a check every time the module was loaded.
I've not checked explicitly for a pause across reboots of the PC, but
next time I restart it I'll give it a try.
