midnit,

 

Try http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/discovery

 

The DevForce Resource Center went thru a major overhaul and as consequence most URLs have changed.

 

I apologize for the inconvenience.

"Probing" is likely one area where your startup time can be improved.  By default DevForce will look through all assemblies in the bin folder for everything it needs - which is entity models, DevForce interface implementations, and known types.  If a lot of assemblies are being probed or the elapsed time is long, you can use the CompositionHost.SearchPatterns to control what is searched.  Here's more info - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/CompositionHost

 

Another area that can cause problems is the first access of the entity model.  If your performance hit is occurring here you can try pre-generating "views" -  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb896240.aspx

 

Also be sure to set debug="false" in the web.config, and turn off any WCF diagnostics.  You can also try pre-compiling the web application - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398860.aspx
