Logic "Pro" 8 - Loading / Boot Times

Question

I use both PT and Logic. They have about the same amount of plugs. App. 200.
Logic's boot time is soooooo slow compared to that of PT's. after taking a long time to load the plugs then Logic needs for ever to scan the EXS Lib - Every time:
As logic launched this morning I thought I'd make test. During Logic's launch I tried launching PT and quit and launch etc. until Logic was finally done booting...
4.5 times - boys - that is how many I could load and quit PT while Logic was booting.
Am I overlooking something obvious here or is Logic just getting slower with each version.
BTW - Logic was of course booted without DAE... thus - natively.
BTW2 - does ANYONE know if Apple plan to update Logic 8?
Thanks

Answer 1

Running L8 on a G5dual, opening my basic default template takes between 20-30 seconds.
10.4.11 is my everyday boot partition.
Experimenting with 10.5.2 and -not- noticing any longer boot time with Logic.
Processor spikes and uneven CPU use in 10.5.2 (at least compared to Tiger)
Only complaints right now are minor but annoying...
Small d@mn fonts!
L8 has noticably less visual appeal (aesthetics), too grey, too bland.
Would like the old defaults of opening a full matrix (cough) piano roll when clicking on a region. Am I missing a setting?
