Clearcase Users

My company uses Clearcase and VC6 to develop a large application, with thousands of .h/.cpp files, all under source control. My workspace loads up 15 seperate projects, which each contain as many as a hundred seperate source-controlled elements. The thing is, workspaces open up SLOW. VC6 loads the actual workspace & projects up very quickly, but then stops for up to 10 minutes "Updating Source Control Status". I know Clearcase can, be slow, but this is too much. Does anyone have any advice on how to speed things up? It seems that VC6 is checking the checked-in/out status of each file individually, blocking the whole app until it is done with the thousands of files I work with. Is there anything I can do make this process go on in the background, or surpress it altogether? I would appreciate any insights or comments.

I've something similar except that the application has only two projects and maybe a hundred source files. It can take nearly a minutes to fully load. I think the IDE is just not up to handling that many files. For some of my smaller one-project applications, it loads 'em almost instantly.
