To give you an idea of where a GNOME application starting up spends its time see this:

The only things really specific to the panel in this is the loading of main menu and applets/launchers.
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.
