Ubuntu 12.10 slow start of applications

Question

Some applications on Ubuntu 12.10 starts very slow. I mean the time between click on app icon and first show on screen.

For example VLC player takes at least 15 seconds.

Is there any way how to speed it up?

Answer 1

To make program loading faster, install the preload program, which preloads programs using an algorithm to guess which program you're using next. It may sound bad but it's actually quite efficient.

Install it through the sudo apt-get install preload in a terminal.

Answer 2

Use a preloader. I do not see the difference. Slow loading, applications from the start until the window to 15 seconds.

Do not you see it start or not. Previously, the mouse pointer changes to the watch, now you see nothing.
