Re: root.exe startup is slow in mac 10.6.4

Hello,

Thank you very much. Earlier I left the DNS "search domain" as blank. Now I have put one domain name (my institute dn). It is much faster now.

time root.exe -n -q -l

real 0m3.520s
user 0m0.103s
sys 0m0.025s

However it is remaining still slower when I disconnected from network. I tried few of DNS settings, like switching "IPv6" off, DNS Search to "local". Butting nothing works out when it is not connected to net.

Could you please suggest if any thing could be done. Thanks,

With regards,
satya
