Details:
This is the same problem that has been reported on the web
many times with no solution posted. For example, it is
described very well at:
http://old.nabble.com/Extremely-slow-startup-td29341827.html
My startup time is 40-seconds, and is even slower. It takes 20-seconds for
the xboard graphics to be shown and then
another 20-seconds for the menus to be added and become
functional.
I think the problem is strongly related to Ubuntu 11.04 because
I have taken early versions (4.2.x) from an OpenSUSE 11.0
installation and used it to replace the xboard executable in
version 4.5.x in Ubuntu 11.04 and it changes from a startup
time of about 1/2-second in openSUSE 11.0 to 40-seconds running under Ubuntu
11.04.
The delay may be in the video because I can't run Unity in
Ubuntu 11.04 and use the older Gnome 2.0 with no special effects. I think
Unity sucks, but for this problem I loaded
Unity 2D and it had no effect on the xboard startup delay.
Otherwise the bug is the same as posted elsewhere on the web.
