What is your KDE startup time?

forrest44 · 04-02-2007, 12:59 AM

From pressing enter in KDM until KDE fully loads:
(approximately)
- How long does it take on a fresh boot
- How long when you do it again (disk is cached, etc)

Also
- What CPU you have
- What distro, kernel, gcc, etc.. you use
- Anything else which might be relevant

I think boot times and Desktop loading times have improved a lot. Also having newer hardware certainly helps.

lol my bad....i didnt read the post fully. i didnt catch the part when you said from kdm to kde. i had tested from the moment my pc booted.

it was pretty funny, i saw montylee put 5 seconds, and i was like whoa.

i just tried it, and i got 3~4 seconds
