Erg,
It is you that asked the group for help.
It is your app that requires rosetta and bound to require it running;
presumably a user NOT using your app would not have it installed;
In our user testing, a delay during once a day computer startup is
more tolerable than one at application launch. Humans still expect
computers to take a moment to start once a day but we can agree that
they want their apps now.
What "lots" of system resources are you possibly speaking of? if no
code is executing via rosetta, then, once started, please, what does
it occupy? Mouse slower? What marginal system do you run that running
rosetta makes any difference and yet a 2-3 second easily avoidable
one-time startup at any time is unacceptable?
You can not possibly care about performance or resources if you must
execute PPC code anyway. Sounds like the story of the princess and
the pea.
Actually, I don't care as I find your response ungrateful and
insulting, thank you. Have fun paying DTS for help!

Oh sure - let's waste lots of system resources by starting rosetta
every single time the system is booted whether or not it needs it.
Nooooooo thanks!

I am willing to do the "pre-launch Rosetta" hack to work around but
if it takes 2-3 seconds to launch and I do a exec/waitpid or
whatever on my dummy process, then my main app is going to take up
to 3 seconds to launch which is unacceptably slow.
Erg
I see. Let's hope DTS works out a better solution you. Extend the
hack one step - make the dummy process a startup item.
