so slow

[Michael Secord]

I've used Pidgin for years on XP and Win7, and each time, Pidgin loads 
up from closed to a BL window (with no accounts auto-connecting which 
WILL slow things down like mentioned before, but not because of the 
application itself) in less than 10 seconds consistently. If you use the 
"-n" switch for the app, you'll disable auto-connecting upon startup and 
thus will see the app load faster. Keep in mind that the issue you are 
seeing is dependent on your environment, accounts, and plugins as well.
