An update here, a very interesting find, I will have to test it over the weekend a little on and off but, so far....Instant locks.
When I open Tomtom it goes to "No GPS device" (does this for a few seconds) then click screen, Change preferences, Show GPS status, by the time I get there, I am locked on at least 4 sats (even inside my house).
Updated to 57600 as above and installed Astro GPSLauncher (when set to 4800 it did take longer to lock)

I rebooted 3 times and tried this, 5 - 7 seconds I am locked. This AstroGPS Launcher will open the GPS port before opening the program (made a icon for Tomtom launcher) and it appears to have worked for me so far.
People with out Tomtom or other listed apps will have to create a custom link for their program but, Try it, it worked for me !!!!
I will update this post with my results over the weekend (crossing my fingers here, like I said, it needs to be dependable).
If this helps, give me some thanks here !
