Hi,

Can you give some numbers please? I don't see any noticeable delay
when starting a GTK+ application. So I suspect that something is wrong
with your setup. There are several things that could be wrong. Your
font cache could be missing or broken, you might have an extended
input device configured which isn't available (this causes a long
timeout due to a bug in X11).



I have only ps/2 keyboard and usb mouse. Machine is Pentium III Copermine 533 MHz with 384 MB RAM runing Linux kernel v 2.4.26...

I don't believe that this would gain any significant (noticeable)
improvement. But I am willing to change my mind if you can come up
with some serious profiling data for realworld applications that shows
that GObject signal marshalling is a major bottleneck.



I havn't said that GObject signal marshalling is a major bottleneck. I've said about overal run-time design of gtk...
I have the following manual mesurments, wich are very inaccurate...
It's near 3 seconds betwean clicking on gnome-terminal launcher and the appearance of the window...
It's near 5 second to start mozilla-thunderbird...
Easy-tag (gtk1.2 application) starts very quickly --- not noticable...


What can I do to improve it?
