Here is a posting from the IBM Maximo support site that may be

Problem(Abstract):
Slow logging in or going to the Start Center



Resolving the problem:
Logging into Maximo can take a while to load the Start Center. Going
to the Start Center from the application takes a while to load.
A 'busy' Start Center with many portlets that access the database (for
example, Result Set, KPI Graph, KPI Chart, Inbox, etc.) can be slow to
load. Every portlet runs queries against database tables and displays
the result set in each portlet. For example if you have 6 portlets and
the query for each executes in 1 sec. That would be over 6 seconds to
load the Start Center.


To resolve the Start Center load times, create multiple Security
Groups with different Start Centers assigned. Add the users with the
'busy' Start Centers to these groups. When the users log in they will
now see tabs on the Start Center. The first tabbed Start Center should
not have a lot of portlets. This will allow for faster login times and
faster Start Center loads from applications. Configure the other tabs
with the other portlets those users need.
