I believe this is 'strace -tt' measurement? My experience is that that
can be quite distorting because it greatly magnifies the per-syscall
overhead.
Yeah, you mentioned :/ I only thought it would be of interest to Will
as "here's the types of things GNOME apps are doing on startup" rather
than "here's how a GNOME apps startup time is split".
I'd really love a way of doing this kind of a wall-clock breakdown of
application startup time *without* such distortion ...
Cheers,
Mark.
