Midori: increase in startup time [SOLVED]

Just done a fresh install and early on was amazed at start up time [almost instant] of Midori

Now, after intalling a bunch of other stuff - there is a really notable delay in start time.

Is there any way to figure out what would cause this?

Re: Midori: increase in startup time [SOLVED]

Are you opening a blank page?
Have you installed any extensions for midori?
What else are you doing at the same time: compiling, playing games, unpacking archives?

Google startpage as before
No extensions or anything added
Not doing anything else at all - testing from a fresh boot
Since adding Midori have added Sylpheed / Gnome-icons / MC / XFE / Xterm

Its the startup time thats delayed ie from clicking menu item to full load on
screen. As I said early in teh install it was super fast [loading from SSD]

Now there is this lag - how to track?

Edit: Just noticed that if I startup with '--plain' switch its back to being instant again.

Wonder if its anything to do with the Gnome Icons / GTK stuff?

Does Midori trim its cache/history/expired cookies on startup?

Does Midori trim its cache/history/expired cookies on startup?

Not changed any settings related to that but I usually opt to delete caches on exit if possible

Just removed gnome-icon-theme [only installed this because teh icons on midori where missing] and it hasnt made a difference.

Guess I can just use the --plain version when I need real speed lol!

SOLVED: I had switched on the extension: ad-blocker

This causes significant lag in startup - not sure how usefull it is if you already dont bother with flash

I guess ad-blocker blocks all ads, the static, non-flash ones too.
