KDE 3.1 starts up very fast on Slackware while it takes 50 seconds to start up on Mandrake on the same machine which is a slow pentium II, 350mhz 98MB RAM. A comparison between various init scripts etc. does not reveal any difference. And as far as i686 optimisations go Mandrake seems to be optimised too.
Maybe some guru can explain this. In my observation it is not speed of execution of a programme which is the real problem. It is the slow speed of startup.
