I have read a few other posts about slow startup times of BC3 under recent Linux versions. Running a rather custom brew of Fedora I'm also affected. BC3 needs 5sec to start and compare anything, no matter how small the files are
I'm using the latest version and tried nearly everything I could figure to find the problem of this slowness.
One idea still to explore is replacing the included qt3 library with the system one which is a recent built and likely better compatible with the surrounding environment. If I do that, however, BC3 crashes in some fontconfig functions. The remaining option is to make sure libqtc is in sync with the system qt3 library and I've tried finding the code to build it. Problem is, it does not look to be even close to what libqtc used to be in the KDE bindings packages on the net (e.g. kdebindings-3.2.3, latest to still include it). Could you share the build procedure for it and what type of qt3 setup was used (3.3.8?) ?
Thank you.
