Can I open the PPM4 GUI without synchronizing the repositories?

I use just

C:dev>ppm repo list
‚€€€€ˆ€€€€€€ˆ€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ƒ
 id  pkgs  name                           
†€€€€Š€€€€€€Š€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€‡

90 minutes is insane!  :-(

What kind of repositories have you set up then and how many?

Do you have repositores that just expose huge directories of
