Thanks a bunch Brian. Still, it appears that ZG takes a lot less than 9s to start up on your system, more like 1.2s (which is still surprisingly much considering we have almost nothing to do on startup).
If we pull out the points in the log that does seem to take a noticeable amount of time it'll be: [2011-03-22 09:33:46,387] - DEBUG - zeitgeist.sql - Updating sql schema [2011-03-22 09:33:46,898] - INFO - zeitgeist.sql - DB set up in 514.949083328ms --- ~500ms (as it also says in the log) This is creating a sqlite db file and setting up a (fairly complex) set of empty sqlite tables. I am pretty sure we'll see shorter setup times on subsequent runs. For reference my system does this step in ~7ms when the DB is already set up. [2011-03-22 09:33:46,899] - DEBUG - zeitgeist.extension - Searching for user extensions in: /home/ubuntu/.local/share/zeitgeist/extensions [2011-03-22 09:33:47,215] - DEBUG - zeitgeist.extension - No extra extensions --- ~300ms This is a bit surprising - as there will be no user defined extensions installed, this should basically amount to the time it takes to "traverse" an empty directory. Is this running a live session or something where FS access may be expensive for uncached blocks? [2011-03-22 09:33:47,217] - DEBUG - zeitgeist.fts - Opening full text index: /home/ubuntu/.local/share/zeitgeist/fts.index [2011-03-22 09:33:47,362] - INFO - zeitgeist.fts - Empty index detected. Doing full rebuild --- ~150ms This is the time it takes to create an empty Xapian index. A bit much, granted, but this ought to be close to free on subsequent runs where the index structure is already on disk. For reference I have 40ms on my system for this step (with about 10k items in the index). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/731019 Title: Certification System 201101-7174 boots 7.93 seconds slower -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
