Thus it gets very little use. :) |

In my experience programs that start up slowly often have bugs causing |
| 11 |
it. For example, Opera slows down dramatically if you have a lot of |
| 12 |
fonts, which I do; because of this, I run Opera under a separate |
| 13 |
fontconfig. Programs that use Pango, such as Inkscape, can be slow to |
| 14 |
start up if you have a lot of fonts, though they won’t slow down, once |
| 15 |
started, as dramatically as does Opera. GIMP has its own code for |
| 16 |
listing your fonts and starts up quickly. |
