Public bug reported:
It takes the system a long time (from 3 to 10 seconds) to start up many of
Gnome programs, because they have to do a lot of disk operations as startup,
and icon caches can help to reduce disk intensivity.
However, "Human" and "gnome" icon themes has not cache in Ubuntu.
Facts:
Default Ubuntu 8.04:
$ time strace -e open gnome-system-monitor 2>&1 | wc -l
1914
real 0m3.459s
user 0m0.576s
sys 0m2.628s
Let's create icon cache:
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Human/
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome/
And now:
$ time strace -e open gnome-system-monitor 2>&1 | wc -l
976
real 0m2.318s
user 0m0.380s
sys 0m1.688s
P.S. Sorry for my bad English
