[Gimp-developer] Reducing Load Time

[Srihari Sriraman <srihari29691 gmail com>]

Hey,

We all know GIMP takes a small while to load, and it is criminally less than Photoshop or such heavy Softwares...

But can we do something to decrease the load time even more? Maybe load it as fast as a plain text editor?

Maybe...

• Bring up the GIMP windows before the loading is complete allowing the user to perform small tasks such as New or Import or Import, while the loading continues in the background, hidden to the user?
• Do some Lazy loading. Like load a plugin only when the user invokes it?
