I've been having some difficulties with my PIC project taking about 5
seconds to start up from a power up or a reset or wake from sleep.

I have a 16C63-JW running on a 32KHz crystal (Epson C-001R32.768K-A) with
68pF capacitors and a series OSC2 resistor of 100Kohm. I am relying on the
power on RESET timer to do the reset.

I think that the slow wake up/reset is due to the 32KHz crystal driving
but I ended up burning out crystals when I used lower series resistance
like 1K or 0 ohms.

It seems that if I put the unit to sleep then wake it up within one or two
seconds that it will wake up much quicker (2 seconds wake up time instead
of 5 seconds).


Any help would be appreciated.
