Comment 15 for bug 1797734

I'm not sure why the "is 2s too slow to start" is the question being asked. Who starts and stops their calculator multiple times in a row? That's not a realistic use-case for the vast majority.

Most people need a calculator once a day or every few days, and a desktop calculator is not an application people tend to leave running for long periods like a browser or word processor. They need to do a quick bit of computation so they open the app, work in it for a few minutes, then close it again. Startup speed is, after correctness, probably THE most important aspect of a utility like this.

The interesting number for gnome-calculator is the FIRST number: how long it takes to be able to use the application from a cold start. 15s is much closer to what I see, EVERY TIME I start gnome-calculator.

That's just... close to unusable.
