WM is taking too long to process events

I am using Enterprise Server 4.1.

I noticed that when there has been no activity on Enterprise Server for 5-6 hours, then the next event processing takes more than 10 mins. However, subsequent event processing takes less than 15 sec.

Is there some settings/configuration by which we can reduce this initial event processing time.

Thanx

I may be way off base but I would suspect swapping by the OS rather than ES settings. What is the OS? What else is running on the box? How much memory is there? Are you running a bunch of adapters on the broker box? Is the adapter that is supposed to publish the next event polling for work every ā€˜nā€™ minutes? More information will help us zero in on the cause of the delay.
