I guess this is due to different strategies for memory management in the implementation of Java VM. It depends on what machines you are running java - on slower ones, or such with less memory, the time for loading java vm, and the time for allocation of memory for bigger apps may vary quite a lot, but 3 minutes looks like more problem of slow dns resolving, if many peers are connecting to you, etc.. I suppose this is not related to problems with driver, but anything is possible, just better testing and more investigations can prove that.. Cheers, Emil
