​Fabian also added some comments just after:
‎[12:06] ‎<‎fvogt‎>‎ * Did some strace-based profiling of plasma startup -
discovered two things:
‎[12:06] ‎<‎fvogt‎>‎ ** The applicationDir is added as first entry to the
QML and Library search paths, slowing lookups down considerably
‎[12:06] ‎<‎fvogt‎>‎ especially for libraries, as it literally opened every
file in /usr/bin/ to check whether it's a plugin...
‎[12:07] ‎<‎fvogt‎>‎ Easy workaround available, but should probably be
fixed in Qt
‎[12:08] ‎<‎fvogt‎>‎ ** KPluginLoader::forEachPlugin takes significantly
more time if all plugins are in a single directory, so there should
probably be a policy to put them into subdirs
‎[12:09] ‎<‎fvogt‎>‎ ** Plasma wayland session is now tested by openQA in
the usual Tumbleweed release process - so if you break stuff it delays our
releases, so please don't do that :P
‎[12:09] ‎<‎fvogt‎>‎ EOF
