Performance - Slow load times for SSIS Packages

Is there any information around what the SSIS packages are doing in the first 5-10 seconds of execution, and ways to speed this process up?Validation then Pre-Execute are the first things to happen as I recall. You can see all the events being raised prior to the Execute event itself in the BIDS Progress or Output windows. You can also capture lots if information including this through logging. DTEXEC can also dump all this information to the console, so easily captured when not running interactively, just not through BIDS, thereby cutting out the debugging overhead.|||It would be nice to know how to get rid of the delay when loading packages, so that tasks would fire instantaneously. Every package, no matter how simple, seems to have a 5-10 second delay.|||

Make sure the SSIS service is running - it caches information about packages that have run, making subsequent package invocations go faster.
