I run IDL 5.4 on a Beige G3 266Mhz, still with the ADB keyboard. I have
system 9.1 in french...IDL starts very fast (just timed it at 3 seconds),
and the computer is also on a network. You might have a conflict with some
startup extension?

It's probably a slow network search. Try making sure AppleTalk is
turned off, or paring down the search path. This slowdown occurs on
other platforms too. IDL goes to great length to discover what .pro
files live on its path at startup. If searching through some volumes is
slow, due to a slow or improperly configured network, your startup will
suffer.

It really seems to be the computer itself. We just tried it on an other
computer an it was really fast.
