Desktop Authority questions

So far in my testing, I'm finding that once the DA agent is deployed, that computer's startup time increases by at least a full minute. It's a lot longer on my laptop when I'm at the house. Is this something you've noticed with DA? If so, any way to reduce this?easybib

Do you find yourself having to create settings in the group policy templates area often? My biggest complaint with the Group Policy Templates section so far is that it can be kind of tough sometimes to determine which admx template the exact setting you want is contained in. I can add all the templates, but I better go make a cup of coffee while waiting for the list to expand at that point.

Along those same lines, the server I've got DA installed on exceeds the recommended system specs by quiet a bit. Once I get logged in to the web console, it's as fast and responsive as I'd expect it to be. However, pulling up the login page initially takes at least a full minute. Anybody else have that problem? It's really annoying. fedloan irs.gov

I suppose the big question would be- Do you think it's worth the price of admission?
