So all we know that Ubuntu 11.10 boot slowly than older version. I've read a file about this and in this file is written this:
* compiz is taking a lot of time right now:
- loading lot of .so files
- heavy gconf use

My question is: why ubuntu load so many .so file? With Unity you can't use all the plugin that Compiz have so why there is so many plugins? A partial solution for the slow boot can be this: remove all the useless .so files from /usr/lib/compiz.


Yeah, dlopen() is slow, but are you sure Compiz opens .so files that it doesn't use?

Also; there was talk about linking some plugins directly into compiz which should also alleviate some of this - but I don't know the state of this.
