Hi all, I just committed a more agressive way to cache OS stat calls, directory reading and file loading. This reduces the TeXmacs startup time by about 40% when running it for the first time. Afterwards, there is no noticeable gain. The acceleration may be useful though when TeXmacs is installed on a local network, where OS calls may be slow.
At the negative side, developers should be aware of the fact that modifications in $TEXMACS_PATH and $TEXMACS_HOME_PATH will not necessarily be taken into account unless you empty the cache files, which are located in ~/.TeXmacs/cache (font_cache.scm, stat_cache.scm, dir_cache.scm and file_cache for fonts, stat calls, reading directories resp. loading files). All other files are used to cache style files and the corresponding DRD properties.
