  • Bug Status set to New

  • Milestone set to 0.84
  • Priority changed from normal to High
  • Severity set to Major

From the parent bug:

"strace shows that Bounce opens and reads over 100 icons that it clearly doesn't need, from places like /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device/battery-030.icon . (unexplored avenue: other activities may do this as well.) "

This could be an ugly performance issue, and given that we have intractable performance issues like Python Slowness, this could be a big win. Assigning to 0.84 to see if we can have a look, but I'm guessing we'll have to push it to 0.86. Maybe some intrepid soul can do the analysis here.

I'm pretty sure this was happening to *all* activities, not just Bounce. However, I tried the strace myself on 8.2.0 and was unable see the icon loads.

Replying to wadeb:

Actually, I saw it happening once but then couldn't reproduce.

I guess this happens because gtk cannot find the icon cache, so recreates it. This may have to do with rainbow. Maybe someone can check?

If it is rainbow specific - one should be able to easily find out by turning off rainbow and compare.
