I'm not sure why the "is 2s too slow to start" is the question being asked. Who starts and stops their calculator multiple times in a row? That's not a realistic use-case for the vast majority.
Most people need a calculator once a day or every few days, and a desktop calculator is not an application people tend to leave running for long periods like a browser or word processor. They need to do a quick bit of computation so they open the app, work in it for a few minutes, then close it again. Startup speed is, after correctness, probably THE most important aspect of a utility like this. The interesting number for gnome-calculator is the FIRST number: how long it takes to be able to use the application from a cold start. 15s is much closer to what I see, EVERY TIME I start gnome-calculator. That's just... close to unusable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-calculator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797734 Title: slow calculator startup Status in gnome-calculator package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The calculator starts very slowly.
