So try this and see if it works for you too.

Right after starting up MC go to 'Services & Plug-ins > 'Media Network' and watch as the servers load and report activity.

This seems to speed up bringing up the network device (my DAC for instance) rather than waiting for it to load 'normally'.

I found this the hard way a while back.....

After fighting a small problem with the pulgin I am working on, I put a simple timer(that is enabled by default) in my plugin and a sytem sound event on its first tick. If I start MC16 and just let it sit, it seems to take about 10 seconds for MC to call the plugin (I hear the system sound). If I start mc and go to "services & plugins" the system sound fires as soon as I select the plugin.

Dose it take MC16 10 seconds from when it is started to "Create The Plugin" and call it, or am I doing something wrong?

This is by design.

Media Center slowly starts background things like plugins, podcasting, handhelds, etc. after loading.

Probably has something to do with this.... If I click on my plugin as soon as MC starts it starts immediately...

Yeah that makes sense…

Still it does considerably speed up the process.

In Tools/Options/Startup, if you have set the startup interface "Location:" to be "Last Location" and the last view you were using before shutdown was "Media Network", Media Center will startup with Media Network shown and it will come up very quickly.

Um, that is my 'default' setting, "Last Location"…

MC can be rather slow completing the start up process at times.  Thus my 'trick'.
