--- Comment #3 from 21na...@gmail.com --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Can you add a bit more information? What makes you think it's reading icons? > And what exactly do you mean by "reading icons"? > > Can you explain your process of investigation that led you to this > conclusion? Here is an example: strace -e file kate & echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches hdparm -y /dev/sda Then click to “File” in Kate and “strace” mentions the access to icons. (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #2) > Since icons are created by name, they are loaded by the icon engine the > moment they are needed (i.e. rendered). Loading all icons in advance will > give us bug reports of slow application startup, so they are loaded as > needed. The size of “/usr/share/icons/breeze” is ~15MiB. But ~10000 files is problematic for a busy HDD, so a solution could be to have one file containing the icons. Then to load them in advance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
