Eric, I have an application that I am running on Fedora 9 with XRC that doesn't seem to have any undue start up problems.
I know that for wxWidgets 2.6 I had the problem. Do you happen to have an example of a perl program with XRC that takes a long time to load. If so, I will see if I can help get it the Mime problem fixed.
