[Nautilus-list] Profiling data

[Thomas Cataldo <thomas cataldo laposte net>]

Hi,

Here's some profiling data (gprof) i collected by building a static
nautilus (yesterday cvs head with some makefile.am/configure.in tweaks
to make the static build) and typing nautilus in a gnome terminal
(nautilus was already running on my desktop). There are a few things I
don't understand :

 - The first four functions __xxxxx. I don't know where they come from.
Corba/oaf/gconf calls ? (I greped -r /usr/include and did not found
them)

 - I don't see why opening a new windows triggers some functions in the
volume manager. I think the volume manager should be started when the
first nautilus instance is created (the desktop in my case). I don't
really see why opening a new window has anything to do with the volume
manager.

(look_for_kdestop_recursive does not appear in the profile data, because
I changed has_kdesktop to return false)

Here is the data:

Flat profile:
