Laurent, I've added a ticket for the RBO loading API method. The 0.9 seconds does not include the sharedRuntime initialization. I just clocked that initialization at 0.6 seconds. It looks like there's some WebKit stuff going on during initialization, as I always see these warnings (I use MacRuby on a secondary thread):
2010-12-27 10:58:02.770 ------------[31466:5207] WebKit Threading Violation - initial use of WebKit from a secondary thread. 2010-12-27 10:58:02.835 ------------[31466:5207] +[NSATSGlyphGenerator initialize] invocation. The class is deprecated. -Justin On Sun, Dec 26, 2010 at 5:36 PM, Laurent Sansonetti <lsansone...@apple.com>wrote: > Hi Justin, > > On Dec 23, 2010, at 2:27 PM, Justin Schumacher wrote: > > Laurent, > > I made the switch to rbo files.
