Response times of 8.11 on XP

Has anybody experienced a very slow performance of 8.11 fat clients on XP? The same build works great on a Windows 2000 client. There seems to be 45 second 'wait' time that i am unable to understand:
Feb 10 09:11:15.916022 - 3268/3156 FOREIGN_THREAD Entering JDB_FreeUser (UserHandle 114F1B00)
Feb 10 09:11:15.916023 - 3268/3156 FOREIGN_THREAD Exiting JDB_FreeUser with Success(UserHandle 114F1B00)
Feb 10 09:12:30.470000 - 3268/3156 FOREIGN_THREAD Entering JDB_GetEnv
Feb 10 09:12:30.470001 - 3268/3156 FOREIGN_THREAD Exiting JDB_GetEnv with Success

this wait time is about 3 seconds on a Win 2K box. We have no anti virus running and the system restore is turned off. Appreciate any clues.

thanks

try these possible solutions:
(1) disable your XP's system recovery function
(2) check network protocols (tcpip setting, tnsname.ora...)
(3) check if your jre 1.3.0 install successful or not (path, registry...)

We had the same problem with XP, I made the following changes to our workstations which resolved the issue:
1. Enabled the “Always wait for the network at computer startup” Group Policy

2. Set the Cached logons to 0 in the Registry

3. Adjust visual settings to maximize performance

4. Turned off system restore

5. Created a new registry DWORD Value MTU with a setting of 1500 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Tcpip\Parameters

6.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AFD\Parameters] and set the following key values to the values shown.
"TransmitWorker"=dword:00000010
"PriorityBoost"=dword:0000000a

Fascinating, I thought there was no such thing as "Fat Clients" anymore on 8.11 - other than developer setups that is. Can you enlighten me please?

1) Developers use fat clients
2) (Almost) All System Admin Functions are done on fat clients
3) The only thing preventing you from running applications on fat clients is that the SIANSIF flag in the F9860 table is set to 'W' instead of blank. W stands for Web Only.

Many people blank out the W in order to do applications testing on fat clients. I would not take that to mean that you can install fat clients for people to use in place of web clients.

Thanks

where do I Enable the “Always wait for the network at computer startup” Group Policy???

In the group policy mmc under computer configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Logon then double click the policy “Always wait for the network at computer startup" I hope this helps you, it sure helped with our developer machines.
