OIPI.net slow startup (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

The new OIPI.NET takes 20 secs (lots of disc OI) to display a simple report while the old OIPI OCX version takes 2 secs to load a new report. This occurs on my developer laptop and when you run the first report after windows startup. The second report run is only fractionally longer than the old OIPI. Iam considering upgrading some clients to version 9.0 but client would get disappointed in report performnce if the user has to wait 20sec or so for the first report. Are there any settings to speed up running the first report.
TIA

Chris-
The slowdown is Microsoft's .Net engine/components being loaded into memory. They have to be loaded in the context of the running engine. The reports should only be slow the very first time the OIPI is invoked in an OI session.
You could try running a Set_Printer INIT and TERM in your application startup process. This should lessen the impact on your users.
