Why does this make login slow?
Authored by: rainwadj on Nov 29, '04 11:42:17AM

If the command line tool can find and list that many fonts in a second, why would having a lot of fonts make login so slow? Is there just some lack of optimization at work, or is login doing more than just making a list of what fonts are available so that Finder knows where to find them?

I'd never claim to be any expert, but my own guess is it has something to do with font caching at login? Still, there were never problems _prior_ to the 10.2.6 update so who knows :)
