System freeze for several minutes after startup

I generate a basic image (XPE SP1) for a P3-based touchscreen panel. Resources are network, SSD 512MB 256 MBram
Format is FAT without EW
Shell is explorer
Networking is present
The system starts quickly, but after the startup, any operation could not be completed because the system becames very slow. For example if you start explorer and click on C drive, the cursor becames an hourglass for several minutes (seems an hard scandisk or defrag is in execution!)
After 3-4 minutes the system returns to be a normal PC (fast!)
Some other XPE developer seems to have the same problem
What is happening at startup
How could we solve this problem
 
Hi Flash,

If it was up to minute I would assume that this is DHCP not found problem, that can be solved by configuring static IP address to
net adapter.
3-4 minutes I do not know what can be the problem :(

Best regards,

This problem can be difficult to diagnose remotely. However, I once had a
similar experience.

I created a configuration based on running TAP on a customer's target, which
was running Win2k. When I ran the image on that same target, I was
witnessing similar behavior to what you're seeing. After a little while of
trying to track down the problem, I realized that I was running out of time,
so I tried another approach... creating a configuration based on running
TA.exe on the target system via a DOS boot floppy. Obviously I had to put a
little extra effort into creating the image, but the TA-based image worked
flawlessly. Once I got XPe working good on the system, the customer was
happy and I was out of time, so I didn't continue looking into why the
TAP-based configuration was doing what it was doing. TAP seemed to have
found something from the Win2k OS that XPe didn't like.

Flash,

Just in case.. make sure you have got a proper Processor component (P3?) in your configuration.
Don't know if it helps you but was worth to mention.

Hi,

the customer remarks that the XPe system freezes the first time he accesses the HDD for several minutes.
TA.exe instead of TAP.exe could be a solution as suggested from James Beau Cseri, but using that solution I solve the problem but I will not understand it.
Has someone any suggestion?

Hi Flash,

Perhaps you should try using MS bootvis program to see where system spend most of it's time. (To narrow the problem down.)
