Are you sure that the delay is due to CODE-loading?

If you open the Control Panel, select Boomerang, and click on the
Preferences button, you'll see a whole bunch of option-checkboxes.  One
of these is labelled "Remove Unknown when SF Dialog is opened".  If this
box is checked, Boomerang will search through its cached lists of
folders and files and will delete from the lists any folders or files
that have been deleted or are on unmounted disks.

This can take several seconds... quite a bit of disk activity occurs.
If you find Boomerang unacceptably slow to open, try turning this option
off... it may speed up the SF dialog process somewhat.
