[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Slow startup (#2649)

[Thomas Wolf]

> Can you time some of the differences with a stopwatch?

### Procedure
1. randomly opened 15 files (ranging from one to some hundreds of lines in size) and save those files as project
2. closed Geany
3. opened Geany (empty editor/file)
4. opened project while looking on stopwatch

Repeated steps 2-4 several times while switching between 1.36 and 1.37(.1) once in a while. Always got identical timings (in terms of 1-sec-accuracy).

### Result
- at home (better I/O performance in general)
  - 1.37.1 --> about 11 sec in total
  - 1.36 --> something between 1 and 2 sec
- at work
  - 1.37 --> about 15 sec
  - 1.36 --> something between 1 and 2 sec

### Note
As stated, I always started with an fresh/empty Geany instance. While waiting for all the project files to open, the Geany window kind of freezes.

Why "kind of"? The editor stays empty until all files have been opened. I cannot see the mouse pointer if it is located on top of the Geany window (can see it if moving the pointer sideways on top of another window or desktop), **but** the window title gets updated with the file, which is currently loaded or was loaded last.
