[RES] Slow startup. 15 min load time

Hi,
It is taking 15 mins for loadui to start. Once loaded it seems to behave fine it just takes a very long time to start. Can anyone suggest a way to trouble shoot this issue?

Im am on a windows 7 machine using loadui 2.6.1. Some of my profile folders are on the network (roaming profile) but the performance of the network is ok and soapui loads in a reasonable time on the same profile.

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    LoadUI uses a lot of files which are saved in your ~/.loadui folder. The reason for this delay might be that LoadUI is loading all of its OSGi bundles (cached in the above mentioned folder), for example, from the network.

    If you want to make it faster, try to start LoadUI by running the bat file (loadui.bat) from the command line with the following option (which changes the loadui Home folder to a local path):

    loadui.bat -Dloadui.home=C:\Your\Path\Here

    Of course, if you want to have your project files, you need to have it in the local machine at the loadui home folder.

    Let me know if that helps.
