YES, It _IS_ actually significantly slower because of the icon.
To test this, Ben Greenman and I made a package called: `arsen`. This
package is nothing but a drracket plugin that calls `exit`.
Our info file is:
```
#lang info
(define drracket-tools '(("tool.rkt")))
(define drracket-tool-names '("Arsen"))
(define drracket-tool-icons '(#f))
```
And our tool.rkt file is:
```
#lang racket/unit
(require drracket/tool)
(import drracket:tool^)
(export drracket:tool-exports^)
(define (phase1) (void))
(define (phase2) (void))
(exit)
```
Now, when we start up DrRacket, it immediately quits the moment it starts
running plugins.
So, what do we get, when we run it on a Monday, we get pretty consistantly:
leif@FATT ~ $ time drracket
drracket 2.93s user 0.52s system 97% cpu 3.547 total
So 2.93 secons.
However, when we run it on a Sunday:
leif@FATT ~ $ time drracket
drracket 4.30s user 0.64s system 96% cpu 5.135 total
So 4.3 seconds.
So yes, DrRacket is in fact taking noticeably slower to launch on weekends
rather than week days.
Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing it? Otherwise can we just remove
the animation until its sped up?
