I am running Spoon - Pentaho EE V 6.1 on my laptop (8 GB RAM) and allocated 4 G to Spoon. Still it takes 3 minutes and 30 seconds to start. I dont have any plugins and my plugins directory is empty. I have also tried this by closing all applications and processes but with no luck. Am I missing anything obvious?

Finally found the answer. Its a known issue and fixed under Version 7
There seems to be a timing issue in the Karaf Blueprint Watcher where sometimes it will ask a bundle for its blueprint file before the bundle is in RESOLVED state. This triggers a (usually) parallel resolve that causes the bundle to be destroyed immediately after creation.
