The price of bad software "progress". I think that a blank statement like "QtQuick produces the slow startup" should be backed by some statement, not just by "I think". For example, I remember some time ago a set of patches in few libraries part of Frameworks to improve the lookup of the icons, which was hitting the startup of same applications, and it was not related to QtQuick or QtWidgets. This is to underline the fact that "tons of small files" may not be the problem, especially because they can be put together in a resource file. -- Luigi _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
