Yes, it is. In jaunty, the current warm start (everything in cache, ie. login, logout and then login again) time is ca. 5 seconds, with compiz, something that would be actually ok for a login time in general instead of the current status. And the I/O problem comes from the hundreds/thousands of small files that are inefficiently read. The amount of transferred data is not that much that it would take more than 2-4s to read on modern even laptop hard drives, if the data would be sequentially available in a one big chunk. 2009/3/23 Evan <eapa...@gmail.com>: > My guess is that it's a bug in Compiz, coincidentally introduced in the same > cycle as compiz-by-default.

This has been fixed in the newer libcompizconfig in jaunty. -Timo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
