Subject: CB 8.0 and slow analysis engines?

OK, I've got a question for the group...

I recently received my copy of CB 8 (German version), and
have noticed the following: any analysis engine I start runs
extremely slowly at the beginning, and gradually builds up
to somewhat normal speed, although it is a bit slower than
in either CB 7 or the Fritz GUI.  I'm running a *don't laugh*
P233mmx with 64mb of RAM, the reference database hash set
to 2mb, and the engine hash set to 16mb.  Has anyone else
encountered a similar problem?  Needless to say, the engines
all run just fine in either CB 7 or the Fritz GUI.

Could it be that CB 8 is just such a memory hog that I'm
plum out of luck?  I imagine that the molasses-like speed
of the engines at initial startup is due to the redistribution
of memory, and I think it swaps to the HD for a few seconds
before getting into regular memory usage mode.

Just curious.. I've tried setting the engine hash all the
way down to 8mb, with little change.  Any ideas are
appreciated.
