Lengthy first start

Hi,

since some time ago, first compilation (pdflatex) of any document after a  
computer switch on
takes too long (20 or more seconds) to start. After that it starts  
immediately.

I thought it was a problem with TeXworks and commented in its mail list  
but they told me
same happens with TeXniccenter. I've also found this behavior typesetting  
 from command window, so
it seems to be a problem with MikTeX and not the interfaces.

Have you seen same problem? Is it a bug or a 'new' usual behavior?

I'm using windowsxp and today updated miktex.

Best regards,

Ignasi
