Is the launch delay on first launch of an app for a user, or everytime? Depending on the app, various user config files, etc, are created the 1st time a user launches an app, causing a delay, even if the app is 100% cached. Also worth checking DNS, AD performance, etc, in terms of the VAS doing a lookup to check the user has rights to run the app - I believe it does this at every launch. VFS versus MNT performance is not really an issue with v4 and above, although as always, YMMV.

Did you sequence the app using VFS or MNT? Typically we see a delay when we sequence the app using VFS as apposed to sequencing it directly into the virtual drive (ours is Q). Where is your user data? Is it redirected?. Typically its in %appdata%. Redirect to home drive and test again. ________________________________ Subject: [THIN] Softgrid performance tips Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 15:46:58 -0400 From: Frank.Monroe@xxxxxxxxxxx To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Anyone have any Softgrid performance tips? I am currently testing Softgrid and while I admit it has potential, I am seeing a 3-5 second delay when launching simple applications such Acrobat Reader. This occurs even after the application is loaded fully in the cache. Thanks in advance.
