Re: [Gimp-user] Idea/Request: Fast start mode for GIMP

Before the devs chime in... Normally Gimp will not re-register plug-ins 
(and so not execute them) if the file timestamp of the executable file 
has not changed since the previous registration). So on Linux Gimp 
startup times are good. But this seems to be broken on Windows.
