1. Windows SharePoint Services
2. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard

Imagine accounting for the time spent waiting for SharePoint to start up in the morning or after a server reboot or an iisreset?
It takes such a long time to load, but after it has loaded, then SharePoint behaves normally. The cause for this is when your Application pool is recycled in IIS. By default it recycles at 2:00AM daily.
