Hello Sebastien, Hmm, it's strange you're not seeing this. I seem to remember Gedit being slow on all four or so boxes I've had Ubuntu on. I've never tried it on another distro, though.
I don't think it's a "straight" optimization issue; the excessive system calls I've seen seem clearly wrong, not just inefficient. I suspect something else I have on my system causes some weird interaction (something like fonts or dictionaries, I imagine). I have practically nothing installed from outside the Ubuntu repositories, so if there is some misconfiguration to blame I doubt upstream will help much unless we point out some concrete bug. Could you please run an "strace -c -f gedit", kill the window as soon as it shows up and post the top part of the output here? I doubt the difference is caused by the speed of our machines, so I suspect you won't see the same calls I do, but I want to make sure before I investigate more. Also, if you know any of our Gnome maintainers, could subscribe them? Maybe they can clue me on what to look for exactly. -- gedit is ridiculously slow (and does too much work) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247228 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
