RE: Slow user fast root. Woody

[Ryan Marsh <me ryanmarsh com>]

Same here.... I've filed bug reports on this but seen no progress. 

If I was a really skilled Gnome hacker I would take this on as my #1
priority, but alas I am a wee neophyte.

BTW: I've noticed that killing OAF (via oaf-slay) will speed up the
starting of oaf apps like Evolution, but then if you close evo and start
it up again it will be back to slow startupagain.

The three great virtues of programming are laziness, impatience, 
and hubris, but bigotry makes the open-source world go round.
