GNOME 2.10 is coming closer and is ready to rock you to the socks. But to make sure everyone gets rocked properly we need a superterrific splashscreen.
Now is your chance to join the ranks of the precious few who have had their artwork associated with a major release of the GNOME! Contest rules and details are at gimp.org. Keep on rocking, and btw, you can use other apps to make the splash too, including for instance Inkscape.

I think most time is spent on disk I/O. GNOME loads pretty quickly if it has already been loaded once. Unfortunately disk I/O slowness problems are very hard to optimize because there's no way to empty the kernel buffers.
