Which progress bar : at startup or when saving ? I really don't understand how it can slow menudrake : -saving progressbar is waiting for update-menus to finish -startup progress bar is updating itself for each menu entry read and there is no "frame rate" settings for it.. > I strongly recommend remote operation through a slow link as an > excellent way to gain insights into how efficient your applications > are.
