Mahesh,

perhaps you are just too impatient? I have also seen startup times in the
range of 15 minutes, and our DB is only half the size of yours, the recovery
log is much smaller than yours. This was on a G40, currently on our F80 it
is much faster.

Did you watch the CPU time consumption of the dsmserv process?
