A 90-second startup isn't very nice, although perhaps expected with IBO if you have a lot of metadata and you're opening all your datasets on Show. If you're doing that, you might like to rethink it a bit - it's not appropriate for client/server unless the app is local.
What connection protocol are you using?

When you say "the user", do you mean "the first user to log in for the day", or what? When this kind of thing happens at the start of play, it's usually that the server hasn't gotten around to starting the Firebird service yet.
