GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 106389
Extremely slow startup
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Extremely slow startup - can take minutes to get from login to fully loaded gnome (this is on an amd k6 300mhz with 96mb ram). Could this be related to fonconfig, etc.?
Still seeing this? I have no problems with login time. Is the CPU overloaded or is it waiting for IO? First time you log in it will generate a font cache in your home directory (at least used to, can't test now) which takes a little time. Should only happen on first login, though.
This was probably fixed through a combination of recent fontconfig and libbonobo fixes. Happy for you to close this one. :-) Thanks Jens!
