Converted 5.5 database very long to load in 8.5

[Normand]

We have a 5.5 database that we loaded in FM 8.5 and saved as a fp7 database. When we load this database in FM8.5, it takes forever to load before we get to the first window, approx 1 minute. The file is 5 Mb. Is there a way to find out what is slowing the loading (step, log, debug, etc ?). When we load the original 5.5 database in FM 5, it loads normaly.

Thanks.

The first thing that springs to my mind if File Referencing. Have you had a look at the references in the converted files?

Yes, read the File Reference section in the Migration Foundations & Methodologies tech brief on filemaker.com:
