Re: Removing xrdb for 10% startup win?

[John Rice <John Rice Sun COM>]

Lorenzo - I built Erwann's patch for JDS on Solaris 10 and saw a 
reduction from 10 xrdb calls in gnome-settings on startup to 3 :) If you 
aren't seeing the multiple xrdb calls maybe this is Solaris specific. 
Gave me about a 1 second improvement over a 15 sec gnome-session start 
to notification-area-applet  start though in reality gain is probably 
much smaller looking at the boochart data, but every bit helps as they 
say.

Will give your mcpp idea a spin and see what effect that has.
