One thing you may wish to pay special attention to at login is the amount of time applets take to start up. I'm not sure if it's the applets themselves, but much of my login time is spent waiting for most of my applets to draw. I plan to look at this issue, and I'll report anything I find to the list (though I plan to use oprofile for this. Dtrace may bring up different details). -Travis _______________________________________________ Performance-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/performance-list
