Standard vs Professional performance

Using TS 6.1 SP2 Sol 5.9 and IE6.0 client

Sorry if this is a 'how long is a piece of string' kind of question.

I'm experiencing a major performance difference between the main portal page of the standard interface vs the professional interface, namely, the std interface takes about 15 seconds to load after every click whereas the professional interface loads in under a second.

Once I get off the portal page (say into a job or task) the standard interface and professional interface performance is the same. That's not surprising, I suppose, because the forms are the same.

We've done no customisations to the main portal page.

Any ideas as to where I can start looking for performance related issues? The box isn't max'd out. A few directories have close to 2000 files in the backing store, but I'm no where near browsing the file system when I bring up the standard interface.

Thanks,

P.

Unfortunately, when standard loads, it checks the complete backing store for information that you have access to. It processes all branches to get the list of workareas in that porlet, and then processes templating.cfg to get all the available templates for you (if all forms is selected). Similar thing happens with the work in progress portlet. All of this preloading happens whenever you use the interface.

We have the same issue.
