What I really wish we knew was what application it was. I've never seen that slow of a client booting up, even having worked with fairly heavy applications (AutoCAD and modeling software comes to mind). They start in a matter of 30 seconds to a minute on a subpar box.

8 minutes sounds like something's being forced to load high resolution assets or similar into RAM all at once.

The culprit almost certainly is hitting a slow server over a remote (ie high latency) network link in a poorly designed pattern (ie for each client, run these fifteen queries - worked fine for the dev with a fast server on the LAN and three test clients in the DB)
