Slow start on Mac G4

Hi, I am using Maple on Mac for about ten years. For some reason, Maple 10 starts unacceptably slowly on my 800 MHz G4 with 1GB RAM. It takes about 30 seconds to start and open a fresh worksheet. It takes about 50 seconds to start and open a saved worksheet of 100 kB. The only advice I could get from other users in my country (Czech Republic) was to put away all palettes. Although this made the start of Maple faster, the general picture remained the same. Basically, this is why I abandoned Maple 10 altogether. Because of poor readability and annoying bug in GUI of Maple 9.5 ("Execute selection" never stops at the end of a selection), I still mostly use Maple V.4, as do many of my colleagues. I think this should be alerting to Maplesoft. This year I had an opportunity to spend $5000 on new Maple licenses for my institute. Instead I put them into new hardware. I wish I could get some better advice from this forum. Yours faithfully - Michal Marvan, Opava
