I wrote io.d, a DTrace script and a derivative of iosnoop, to roll up disk io time during the first 20s of the Firefox startup [1]. I already have a 'cold startup' shell script that I use to trace Firefox, e.g. cmd="./Minefield.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -foreground -P 2" sync && purge && dtrace -x dynvarsize=64m -x evaltime=exec -c "$cmd" - wZs $1 --- I cold-started and traced both Firefox [2] and Safari [3]. I now have a hunch that the slow Firefox startup may have a lot to do with the fact that most of the Safari bits are pulled from the dyld shared cache. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
