Hi Ronald, I thought I saw Christian had gone through the regressions and mentioned which ones are fixed and for the ones that aren't fixed yet, he mentioned who was looking at fixing it.
Also, I have slow machines with gstreamer 0.10 installed (system not cvs uninstalled) and the startup time for totem and other gstreamer applications is not noticable.
