Startup time of GnuCash

[Juergen Dankoweit]

Hello,

the startup time of GnuCash 1.8.8 on my FreeBSD 4.10 system is 
incredible long.
It takes about 3 minutes to show the splash screen and then 2 minutes 
more to show the main window.

These time-values are taken on a dual P3 800MHz, 512KB Cache, 2GB RAM, 
Gnome 2.6.2.

I tried to find out what's going on, so I used "gnucash --debug 
--loglevel 6".
There is no output until the splash window comes up.

What' s going in there, why is it so slow?

Many thanks for your answers.

Jürgen

PS: GnuCash was installed via "pkg_add -r gnucash"
