Im looking for suggestions on how to optimize the load/startup time with Scribus. (using 1.5.6 svn on windows during these tests)
It seems that when I try to launch Scribus the very first time on my PC, it can take upwards of 8-10 seconds. Im on a fast machine (6 cores - i7, 16gb ram, SSD),. After repeatedly opening/closing Scribus a few times in a row, it goes down to 2-3 seconds for me. Other windows machines are averaging 5 seconds or more to load each time.
All the machines have the same default fonts installed that comes with Windows.
Somethings that I found did help reduce startup time
In the Scribus prefs, disable the two options on startup "Show splashscreen" and "Show Startup Dialog".
Any other things that can happen to help improve load times?
