[Java-gnome-developer] java-gnome slowdown

[pancake <pa...@ph...>]

I've just updated the pkgsrc packes of cairo-java, glib-java amb libgtk-java (next ones will be up soon).

But I've noticed about a huge slowdown! about 2x-3x.

Bootup process:
==========
gdvb with libgtk-java-2.6 = 2 seconds
gdvb with libgtk-java-2.8 = 5 seconds.

I understand that gtk-java2.8 uses cairo and glib, and this makes gtk heavier to load...but 2-3x?!

How can this be improved?

Maybe too many checks for initializations? This makes the code secure against posible segfaults on bad code, but makes slower....

any idea? solution? tip?

Thanks
