It takes me a good 35 seconds to launch Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 under OS X 10.3.x on my 400 MHz Power Mac G4 ("Gigabit Ethernet"). This is in sharp contrast to other applications (WITH THE EXCEPTION of Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0).
GraphicConverter (for example) takes about 5 seconds. So does iTunes.
During this time, it keeps up a constant stream of chatter about things that it says it is "building" or "initializing." Scanning for plugins… scanning for presets… initializing tools… initializing… building Twain menu items… loading brushes… building color conversion tables… reading preferences… finished building the Help system… and a whole bunch more.
Why the heck does it have to do all this stuff more than once? Once the "color conversions tables" are built–whatever that means–why does it ever have to build them again? What does "initialization" mean if not "something that only needs to be done once?"
Is there something wrong with my installation that makes it do this?
I’ve tried reinstalling to see whether that would fix it, but I continue to get the same results–incredibly slow launch and continued claims that it is "building" or "initializing" things that it claims to have already built or initialized on every other launch.
