Startup time

I would be interested as well.  I asked the same question a while back.  I was 
told that I could delete the "business" part of the directory tree, but that 
seemed to make no difference to the startup time.  As I am using the latest 
source code, perhaps I can delete that BEFORE I compile, but (a) it will 
probably throw up ertrors during ./configure, and (b) that is of no help to a 
Windows user.
