Then I will not invest too much time in making my 1.x project open more
swiftly.  I believe it's wiser to bet on your fix, and then just migrate to
2.x, which I have wanted to do for many months now, anyway.

I think I also have overlooked this "slow open" problem because it only
happens the *first* time the db is opened in each PC session.  Subsequent
launches are fine.  Thus during development, it just wasn't apparent
[enough]. Sadly, a customer complained to me which caused me to take a more
careful look.
