Well, I've tried. Some examples:

Elementary theme [1]:
- without gtk-update-icon-cache: 0.12 secs
- with gtk-update-icon-cache: 0.08 secs

GNOME default theme:
- with gtk-update-icon-cache: 0.02 secs

ElementaryUbuntu theme [2]:
- with this theme i can not create an icon cache (error on
gtk-update-icon-cache): 9.8 secs



There's no way to avoid such a delay if the user has a bad icon theme
selected?
