I havn't said that GObject signal marshalling is a major bottleneck. 
I've said about overal run-time design of gtk...
I have the following manual mesurments, wich are very inaccurate...
It's near 3 seconds betwean clicking on gnome-terminal launcher and the 
appearance of the window...
It's near 5 second to start mozilla-thunderbird...
Easy-tag (gtk1.2 application) starts very quickly --- not noticable...

What can I do to improve it?
