[sage-support] Sage is extremely slow to start on macOS Mojave
I am using the app version of Sage 8.6 on macOS Mojave 10.4.3. It is extremely slow to start up. It takes multiple minutes. Running the sage or Sage executables found within the app bundle is fast—it takes only a few seconds, as it should. It is launching the app the normal way (double click) that does not work. Is this a known problem and is there a solution? I also asked this on Ask.SageMath, but did not get a definitive answer: https://ask.sagemath.org/question/45506/sage-takes-very-long-to-start-why/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.

The known problem is that the app version has not been looked at by a MacOS developer for years. It might be using something obsolete. We are now trying to offer a Google Summer of Code project to work on it. If the app version is so bad then we perhaps should just pull it. > > I also asked this on Ask.SageMath, but did not get a definitive answer: > > https://ask.sagemath.org/question/45506/sage-takes-very-long-to-start-why/ > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-support" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/sage-support. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.

I have been unable to get the .app (8.4 or 8.5) working on 10.14, but it works just fine on earlier versions of macOS, so I don’t think pulling it is a great idea. Justin -- Justin C.

I was wondering if there's any work being done to address this.
