90 seconds to create a new part?

Hello

We have just upgraded to 12.1 w/ Teamcenter 11.2

When I go to create a new model, from when I hit the 'new' button it takes 90+seconds before it will ask me if I want a model/assembly/etc..  If I pick model, it's another 30 seconds until I can start sketching.

Is this normal?  We were on NX7.5 / TC 8.2 previously and it was about as slow, but I figured it was because we were on such a primitive version, but it's at least as slow on the upgrade.  

My PC is only 5 months old Intel Xeon 3.5 GHz 8 GB ram.

Thanks for your help.
