Good question!  First off, are you using the latest release?  There's been 
time improvements there.  Secondly, have you done some profiling to show 
where in the initialization it is taking the longest?  After the first 
initialization, it should be much faster since the object sub-system has 
already been initialized.

Thirdly, DBObjects themselves are not truly threadsafe [Although the 
function to get the value from the cache is, the rest of it isn't.]  You 
could remove the spurious synchronized keywords and see how that helps.

And finally, taking  look at the code, my first guess where the time is 
getting spent is in setDBName().  If you could confirm that this is truly 
where the time-hog is occurring, I'll take a look at how we could speed it up.

Thanks in advance for your input!
