We have forms with 34000 lines. Normally startup times are not a problem.

The problem might be Forms column security checking. We had a form with over 10 blocks and tables. With lot of defined users it's startup slowed down remarkably. Tracing the form displayed very slow SELECTs from the Oracle's table-access tables (ALL_TAB_GRANTS etc).

Our solution was to add owner-information to blocks basetables (at blocks definition 'TABLE = SCOTT.EMPLOYEE'). After that SELECTs could use indexes on those access checks and startup time went back to normal. Other solution would have been to disable column security.

I suggest that you should enable database tracing, run your runform with -s -option and analyse results with TKPROF. If it shows up some slow fetches at startup, try to analyse those with EXPLAIN.
