Our build of AbiWord launches in about 2 seconds on Mac OS X 10.4, while it takes about 60 seconds on Mac OS X 10.5 (on the same machine), with similar results for our other applications built on the same GNOME stack including Gnumeric, Gnucash, etc.

I set the "DYLD_PREBIND_DEBUG" variable, and the same list of files stating the image is not prebound is presented on both systems. The only difference is that it hangs on the message:

dyld: image not prebound, so could not use prebinding in /tmp/ OpenOSX/office/bin/AbiWord-2.4


...on the 10.5 system, and does not hang on the same message on 10.4.

Can any recommend something to try or point me towards some documentation?

Were those binaries built with the Leopard tools ? As far as I know there is no prebinding done
in Leopard.

In the absence of other feedback I'd recommend
1) Profiling the launch (via sample and shark) to see if a hotspot appears
2) File a bug report, providing the profile information
3) Provide the bug number on the list, and also a highlight of what samples and shark
reported. This might be enough information to point to the issue
