Actually I find the starting time of gedit a bit too long.
For example gvim starts much quicker than gedit on my machines.

I don't know why this happens, but I really would like to fix this problem 
and improve the gedit starting time.

Any help is welcome :-) Any suggestion about how to profile gedit starting time [1]?

BTW, adding new features does not always mean increasing loading time. 
Plugins are only loaded at start time if you enable them. 
However, I think the the plugins loading time is not the main cause of the slow
starting time of gedit.

Ciao,
Paolo
