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.
