After reading this comparison http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/21155 I did some testing on my laptop (Intel Centrino 2 GHz - 1 GB RAM - 7200 rpm HD). First of all I removed the following applets from the panel: * Main menu (I replaced it with the old standard menu) * Tomboy leaving there the following basic configuration: * Standard GNOME menu * Windows list * Notification area * Battery applet * Opensuse updater gnome * NetworkManager applet * Volume control * International clock * Show desktop With this configuration, I logout and login again measuring the time required to show the complete desktop. The results are the following: * Basic configuration: 11 seconds * Basic configuration + gnome main menu: 13 seconds * Basic configuration + gnome main menu + tomboy: 20 seconds * Basic configuration + gnome main menu + tomboy + system monitor: 21 seconds * Basic configuration + gnome main menu + tomboy + system monitor + deskbar + weather applet + application killer: 22 seconds Measurements are unreliable both for the method (logout and re-login) and for the difficulty to obtain consistent results, but it seems tomboy is the main cause the long login time.
