How to speed up server launch?

I'm enjoying Zoho Virtual Office, but on my machine (P3 850MHz 512K RAM), the server takes a veeeeery long time to launch. Afterward, the responsiveness of the program itself is acceptable, although not fast.

Are there things I can do, short of buying a new machine or upgrading it (already maxed out on RAM and CPU - it's a laptop) to improve launch time and general performance?

I'm running just one user and just one mail connection.

Thanks.
