I just love it how each release has a faster startup speed :)

I think it was a good idea letting some new features come in.

Startup speed
by Daniel "Suslik" D. on Wednesday 31/May/2006, @19:56

In a few releases, the start up time will approach and cross 0. By kde 4.1, KDE will be on before you turn the computer on.

Jokes aside. Just updated to KDE 3.5.3 - WHOA! This thing IS starting much faster!

Its not that much faster, it just shows the desktop earlier - before restoring session. Like Gnome does, btw. Windows is even smarter: they show the desktop before it is actually usable...

No, in fact it even is really faster.

Are you the Lubos who did (some/all/most) of the startup improvements? If so then I guess you should know...

Seems faster to me, though I didn't get a stop watch out. Thanks btw :)

And speaking of which:

THANK YOU, Lubos. I've been keeping a remote eye on your work on startup speed and fontconfig improvement, and I think you deserve more praise and thanks than you get. :)

Actually I think a big portion of the fontconfig praise and thanks belongs to Dirk and Coolo :).

I hope you are joking. Windows behavior is a stupid lie. I prefer a splash screen suggesting you get a pillow, but when it is gone things work.

Windows is stupid for doing that--lots of people bang on the mouse waiting for it to become usable.
