[Bug 44002] Re: Trivial actions are not appearing immediately
I'm sure something can be done about this. I've just done an strace on the menu opening, it tries to do ~1500 file opens (most of which are for non-existent files). First of all, most of those should be preloaded (actually, they should be cached once, then the cache should be preloaded in one step). The argument that it takes up memory doesn't hold, because the memory is still taken up the first time I open the menu. Second of all, any refresh can be done incrementally. There's no reason to flush the entire menu and re-open 1500 files, when one or two might be new. And especially you don't need to do it on every boot. Third, even a refresh could be done in parallel, with a "nice -n 10" to make sure things don't get unpleasant. Last, I don't even get it why it has to read the entire menu. If I'm going for the package manager I have no reason to wait for th 1500 file accesses, when it fact I'm only going to see about 20 icons on the way. -- Trivial actions are not appearing immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have only noticed this annoying behavior in gnome main menu. In other gnome apps everything seems fine. -- Trivial actions are not appearing immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This problem is made a LOT worse when using a Live CD. In fact, the first time the menu is opened, it can cause the CD to spin up again, with a long delay. If these icons were loaded into memory on startup of gnome-panel (during which the user is waiting around for gnome to start anyway), the delay would not be present. Is this a more general problem than just gnome-panel? Does this apply to all icons in GTK menus? Perhaps GTK should preload all the icons whenever the application is started? -- Trivial actions are not appearing immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
