Comment 4 for bug 677088

A cold cold cache is going to be a problem on the mini.

$ echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ nautilus -q ; setsid gnome-panel --replace; time python -c 'import gtk'

Just importing "gtk" from python may take 4.5s already.

Loading python is more realistic as system-config-printer is python and reloaded.
$ python -c 'import sys';killall gnome-panel;nautilus -q ; setsid gnome-panel --replace; time python -c 'import gtk'
