GS/OS 5.0: Slow Startup Time on Network

I am unhappy with the performance of GS/OS 5.0 (not 5.0.2) when starting up 16 Apple IIGS systems over a network. It seems that the startup time has increased by about 10 minutes.

Additionally, there are problems with the workstations losing their Chooser settings. It seems to happen at least hourly.
The additional time required to start up is caused by the increased size of GS/OS 5.0. Roughly speaking, the increased time works out to about 30 second per Apple IIGS (not that long, considering the amount of data being moved).

The problem of lost Chooser settings has been fixed in version 5.0.2.
