Are you sure that the SPOPS initialization is the problem? It very
well could be, but if/before we do any work I'd like to know that
it's actually the issue? It's doing a fair amount of work at
initialization, particularly if you're initializating a lot of
classes, but I don't think it's doing *that* much work as compared
with I/O-bound processes like accesing your database.
So how many classes are you initializing? Are there lots of custom
rules or behaviors? Are you using security?

Defining everything in the configuration makes sense -- keep
accesses to the database down.

Not right now. To be honest speed, particularly initialization
speed, hasn't been a real big priority to this point -- most of the
people using SPOPS do so in a persistent environment, so
initialization isn't a big deal.
