Thanks - I just experienced this last night. The emplode sync hung on my computer and I wanted to take the player out with me. Every time it booted it took 15-20 sec (normally take 3-4sec). I was worried that I corrupted the db or something. I followed Hugo's suggestion, and its back to 3-4 seconds to load. Thanks.
