Subject: Cyrus takes 5 minutes to start

We have just upgraded from an ancient version of Cyrus to a new one on
some new hardware.  I have discovered that Cyrus takes 4-5 minutes to
start:

Feb 25 13:42:15 email master[327]: [ID 965400 local6.notice] process

Feb 25 13:47:04 email master[327]: [ID 139525 local6.notice] ready for
work

What was it doing between 13:43:07 and 13:47:04?  Is there any way to
speed this up?

Software: Cyrus v2.3.1 on Solaris 9
Hardware: Sun v210 with 2 GB memory, 2 1.3GHz processors, 9 GB swap
Database types: using the recommended default types
Size: 2000 users, 30,547 folders (i.e. there were 30,547 lines in the
old /var/imap/mailboxes)
