Connecting to Designer - slow

When I connect to Designer /Adminstrator or any DS client on 8.0.1, it takes a few minutes to autherniticate
It is frustrating sometimes and we are not able to figure out why this takes a long time. This was not the case with 7.5 or earlier versions.
We even tried turning off the virus check just to see if that helps
Any clues?

Probably all the extra work that has to be done to verify the identity of the domain user that is mapped to the DataStage user. Are your servers on separate machines? Are they or the network busy?

I have WAS and IIS/DataStage on one server. The metadata repository is on SQL server 2005 and this resides on a different server. Will that be a cause? Operating system is Windows 2003 server for both the server machines.
Thanks

We got a work around from IBM AScential HelpDesk for this. When we had Local OS security, the connections were slow however when we changed it to LDAP security, it was remarkably faster. Now the clients open up almost as fast as the 7.5 version or older.
Thanks

Keep in mind that a saturated network can also cause this symptom. I was at a site in India during the World Cup Cricket and things were abysmally slow - the reason was 75 developers all watching the (live) cricket in their Internet browsers. No bandwidth left in the LAN.
