I have a 1.8mb .recently-used.xbel file. main-menu takes about 1 to 2 minutes at 100% cpu to start up (it doesn't show up in the panel until it's done)
Removing the .recently-used.xbel file reduces startup time to a couple of seconds.
stracing it during startup with the xbel file found over 17,000 gettimeofday system calls!
