I am trying to understand why it takes nearly a whole minute to open any of my apps, both kde and third party - such as OOo, and one of the things I've come across [ thanks Shawn ] is strace.
Two things get to be "called" heaps of times: the first is the 'read' calls and there I see close to a 1000 calls for :
0.000588 old_mmap(0x407ea000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x1a000) = 0x407ea000
Anyone know what this is???????????? The online search produces heaps of text files listing exactly what I see in my 'strace' - but otherwise nothing very helpful to date.
The other is for the 'open' call, eg:
0.000680 open("/usr/X11R6/lib/tls/libfontconfig.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
and this seems to go through a lot of files 'looking' and again, for heaps of times. Shawn has been helping me get to this info but I thought I'd put it here directly in case someone has found the 'direct' resolution for this?????? [ Shawn is great but I hate to burden any individual with my rampant ignorance.] And you never know, there may be a known alternative out there we both could use.
Anyone care to help out?

Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.
