Re: Question on editor startup time

[Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Hello Doug,
I have a "normal" home directory that - of course - grew over the decades so 
to speak. No network folder but I am sure there exist a decent amount of files 
and subdirectories within.
I tried to get information through "gdb" but in vain; gdb quits tracing after 
a fork and I do not know how to circumvent this.
Thank you and take care
