I have an iBook G3 500, 576 MB RAM w/ Live. Live 3.01 with OS 10.3.2 loads up in less than 20 seconds. It's working here.

Do you use Vsti's in another program that reside in your vst plugin folder ?

Mine also takes 30 seconds and up, which for today's machines is simply too long. Any solutions?

Hi folks,
it is right that as more files and are in the the VST foldersand subfolders, as more time Live need to start up, because we have to look and compare these files with the internal list save in Live's preferences. Unfortunately some VST plug-ins install other files within the VST folder or subfolders.
As far we know other VST host applications having similiar problems. So far the only solution is to remove unused VSTs from the VST folders.
regards,
Alex

Alex,
mine takes more than 30 seconds despite the fact that no VST plugins are installed as i'm on OS X, Logic.

or
It may be possible to locate the Dat files of ie Atmosphere, stylus and others to a different folder outside the VST plugins folder. I will try once i have got some time. At the moment i have several pieces of work running with deadlines to them.

I just installed Panther and the latest Live upgrade and now I'm experiencing this as well. Live takes nearly an entire minute to boot up! I have very few VST effects (only the ones that came with Computer Magazine last month), that's it. Never had that problem before in Jaguar, same effects, etc.
Alu-Powerbook 1.25ghz
Panther 10.3.2
1GB RAM
80GB HD
120GB LaCie D2 FW drive
Live 3.0.2

Well now it is clear from looking at the Pref. log that for me Live was looking through all the virtual guitarist data that was stored in the VST folder..I moved the VG files and startup is about 90 sec. now instead of 3 minutes.

I have duplicated this as well. Start up time down to about 1 min approx. An improvment but still pretty slow.
Unfortunately all the vsti's plugins At,mosphere, V guitarist etc etc are now being asked to be re-installed. This is a big pain in the posterior ! i thought this may happen
.
If you move the data content for your Vstis back into the vst folder it still asks for the plugins to be re-installed. i advise you not to do this unless you wish to spend an afternoon re-installing your plugins

There is a way around reinstalling the Spectrasonics stuff. I have done it. I am sorry to say I can't remember how. I will think hard!!! Posting over on the Spectrasonics list may be in order.
I know I have run into this w/ Stylus and Atmosphere.
I am going to be having the same difficulties in the next few days as I move files to a new Firewire 800.
