Package: zenity
Version: 2.6.2-2
Severity: important
disclaimer: zenity is S L O W on *my* system
this is, imho, an "important" bug, as it severely detracts
to the usability of the package
please look at the attached little benchmark, you can see that
instantiating a zenity dialog takes MORE than 10 times the cpu needed
to load xemacs, execute its startup files, to instantiate a fully
decorated (menus, toolbars, pixmaps) frame and to close it, and what's
more important, it takes more than FIVE seconds of wall clock
ps: the figures below are recorded after repeated executions of zenity, to
have a chance that the zillion libs it depends are cached at the moment
of the benchmark
