If I recall correctly, Limewire is java-based p2p app and java on Linux
and FreeBSD requires a bit more resources than on Windows (according to
SUN's recommendations i read the last time). 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
