Yes, make you GIMP open fast on Mac only for 999.99$/mo

Same with emacs
Just measured startup time on Windows. 37 seconds from click to splash screen, 40 seconds from splash screen to UI
I read forever ago that deleting plugins and brushes you don't use helps slightly. Can anyone confirm/deny?
We need to fund this study
"That's the power of Fatdog64!"
Actually it seems like even on an SSD GIMP takes a few seconds to load nowadays on Windows and yet Fatdog64 loads it within a second or two. Anyone else tried Fatdog64 or any Puppy Linux OS?
Hold up, Fatdog64 is an actual thing??
In my case Alacritty on Windows 10 takes like 30 seconds to open + 15 seconds waiting for Powershell, on Linux Mint Alacritty + Fish shell takes only 1-2 seconds to open
On Windows for me it takes a solid 5 seconds, on Linux it's barely a second.
photoshop takes about two mins on windows and i have a year old dell xps 15 maxed on ram and an i9
