I had, and reported this problem too, on FreeBSD-5. My truss, sort, uniq analysis showed it spending a lot of time trying to open the same libraries, over and over, in places where they didn't exist. I tried to make sure my ports -- all the gnucash dependencies -- were up to date, but that did not seem to help. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-April/011461.html I am happy to report that it starts up quickly now. The only significant change I can see is that I am running FreeBSD-5.3 post the official 5.3 RELEASE, that is, FreeBSD-5.3-STABLE. It now takes maybe 10 - 15 seconds to startup, but I'm running it off a headless server and it's remote displaying to me over X11. Probably faster on a local box/display. I do not know whether it is still doing the same repeated searching for libraries as before, I haven't trussed it to find out.
