More information on this... i have the feeling that it's a preloading problem.. if i launch an app for the first time, it takes ages, but if i relaunch it, it's nearly immediate. It happens with pure X apps and with gtk apps. Something changed in preloading area or ld.so ? I have to admit that i didn't update /etc at each upgrade, may this be a cause ? I didn't ran ldconfig -P, as i saw this wasn't recommended.. I noticed another weird problem, which _may_ be related : sometimes, ls doesn't show the full list of files in a directory, and the whole list on the next run (either on ffs or ext2 partition). But disk led is not flashing.
