At least here the slow startup was fixed by upgrading inkscape to 0.91. But the bug is still present with amd64 inkscape.

Also I have compiled inkscape from subversion (Revision: 22608) in a Ubuntu 8.10 box. (Intel Core 2 duo 1.8 GHz and 2 GB of RAM) In the build I have disabled the -g option in all the Makefiles, but launching inkscape takes more than 10 seconds!! And in its actions it demostrates that it has become slower. Is any way to improve the performance of Inkscape (for example, using a separate thread to loading the plugins, using a load of components by demand, using OpenGL+Shaders for drawings,...) I have some knowledge of optimization in C/C++ but I know next to nothing how Inkscape has been programmed. Thanks guys for this great program.
