When starting applications under Debian and GNOME I get big startup latencies. Even a simple calculator or a tiny text editor need around 1 second until they show a window. What happens during this time? The only application being faster is the clock which still has noticeable latency but not a big one.
Under Windows I do not know such a behaviour. Every small programm is ready immediately after having clicked the start icon. I notice this problem since decades under Linux regardless of what distribution or desktop environment. While Windows is ready Linux does something...
But WHAT?
Thanks in advance for any explanation and of course any idea what can be done agianst this as it's a useless waste of time.
