I suspece it is the loading of shared libraries that takes some time. I have noticed that the first time an application is launched, it takes some noticeable delay. If I exit it and re-launch again, then second time around it comes up a bit faster. The difference becomes apparent with an appliction that in addition to standard Gtk+ takes more then twice shared libraries to load (C++ wrappers and helper libs). One way to get a definitive answer would be to build the same GUI application shared and static and measure the startup time for each. -Vlad On Mon, 2006-02-20 at 06:57, Frantisek Dufka wrote: > Clemens Eisserer wrote: > > > * Slow application menu performance - you can watch how it comes up > > and dissapears and how the background of apps is painted new when it > > dissapears. > > If you just move the pen up and down on the open menu you see the > > selection lagging 1-2 entries behind the pen. > > I wonder if all this is because of theming in general or specific > (default) theme used?
