Except for when it isn't. Launch time really doesn't mean all that much
anymore IMO, as its not an all that frequently repeated of an activity
(especially with adequate RAM), ...
I've not used GIMP for awhile, so I just got a screen recorder running and launched it. It went to go search everywhere for fonts, so after a minute or two, I killed the recording and let it just continue to run in the background. Checked back a short while later and it was done; what really needs to be done to benchmark its launch time is to reboot the system to start relatively 'clean'. We'll see if I bother...plus also because some software vendorsThe thing about GIMP on Windows is that, until I got used to how slow it was to
have manipulated their code to put the UI up quickly so that it looks
ready while it technically isn't yet - YMMV as to how much this design
decision is manipulating user perceptions.
even make something appear, I would end up with two copies of GIMP running.
And maybe get an error like: "Error renaming temporary file: Permission
denied".
For using, using Windows is like being pecked to death by ducks.
