Thanks for your reply. I think it might well be a fonts problem. Here's the test script, plus a comment where the big delay happens: % cat test.py from pylab import * plot([1,2,3]) show() cherry% python test.py -dGTKAgg --verbose-debug matplotlib data path /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data $HOME=/home/ucfajlg CONFIGDIR=/home/ucfajlg/.matplotlib loaded rc file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc matplotlib version 0.90.1 verbose.level debug interactive is False units is True platform is linux2 loaded modules: ['pylab', '_bisect', '__future__', 'copy_reg', 'sre_compile', 'distutils', 'itertools', '_sre', 'japanese.aliases', 'site', '__builtin__', 'datetime', 'distutils.re', 'matplotlib.re', 'matplotlib.tempfile', 'encodings', 'pytz.datetime', 'shutil', 'distutils.string', 'distutils.os', 'dateutil', 'matplotlib.datetime', 'posixpath', '_random', 'tempfile', 'errno', 'matplotlib.warnings', 'binascii', 'encodings.codecs', 'sre_constants', 're', 'matplotlib.md5', 'os.path', 'pytz.sys', '_codecs', 'distutils.sysconfig', 'encodings.exceptions', 'pytz.sets', 'math', 'fcntl', 'stat', 'zipimport', 'string', 'warnings', 'encodings.types', 'UserDict', 'encodings.utf_8', 'matplotlib', 'japanese', 'sys', 'japanese.aliases.encodings', 'pytz.tzinfo', 'pytz', '__main__', 'matplotlib.__future__', 'codecs', 'matplotlib.sys', 'matplotlib.pytz', 'types', 'md5', 'matplotlib.dateutil', 'matplotlib.os', 'thread', 'sre', 'bisect', 'matplotlib.distutils', 'signal', 'distutils.errors', 'random', 'linecache', 'matplotlib.shutil', 'posix', 'encodings.aliases', 'sets', 'exceptions', 'sre_parse', 'pytz.bisect', 'distutils.sys', 'os', 'strop'] numerix numpy 1.0.4 font search path ['/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/afm'] trying fontname /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/cmsy10.ttf trying fontname /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/VeraSeBd.ttf trying fontname /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/cmr10.ttf trying fontname /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/cmex10.ttf trying fontname /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/Vera.ttf loaded ttfcache file /home/ucfajlg/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache backend GTKAgg version 2.10.1 [...

And if it is, what can I do to solve it? Thanks!
