evolution takes over a minute to start, there are no error messages if
I run it from terminal window. First I was running 6.3 but I upgraded
to 7.0 thinking that it might of solve the problem but it didn't. What
amazes me is, I've got ubuntu installed on the same machine and it only
takes 3 seconds to start, also it only takes 3 seconds to start in
windows. Evolution running like this is completely worthless. Any
ideas what might be causing this? Please respond to my email address
also.

all the plug-ins are enabled under ubuntu and still starts in 3
seconds. Are you trying to say that the FreeBSD loader is kind of
primitive comparing to the linux loader?

that's a lot longer than linux with all the plugins enabled. As far
I'm concerned evolution is out of my list of programs, I still have my
doubts about the real reason as to why it takes so long to open. In
reality there's no real reason as to why a program will take so long to
open, if that's the case evolution will loose a lot of users in the
FreeBSD community.
You're free to build Evolution and e-d-s with debugging symbols, and
watch it load in gdb if you don't believe me. Last time I did this, I
found most of the time spent in the loader. Any optimizations would
certainly be welcome.
