I have to admit that I didn't wait too long .... indeed, I did another
test right now and it took approx. four minutes to start at LFPN - but
this is a dual Opteron with 'sufficient' memory. FlightGear occupies
one of the two CPU's while the user is waiting.
We've been using this, exactly the same machine to demo FlightGear on
the Flight Simulation Weekend at Lelystad. I'm certain that we _did_
demo the Paris scenery - I remember having much fun presenting to our
guests how to fly through the Tour Eiffel - and I'm quite convinced we
didn't have to wait _that_ long for a startup.
So, one could conclude that the way how static objects are being loaded
has changed in the meantime .... but I'd prefer to leave the guessing
to other people as I just jumped into the thread by accident :-)
