ATM Phatch starts a subprocess at boot time to check or create the font cache. If the font cache is present it should not be started.
This is how it gets called: config.py > fonts.py > system.call
It should be prevented with some 'if os.path.exists'.
After studying the issue more close, it would be better to implement a caching system for system.find_exe. This is not really a bug so I filed this blueprint for it: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/phatch/+spec/cache-exe
Bug watches keep track of this bug in other bug trackers.
