I read forever ago that deleting plugins and brushes you don't use helps slightly. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Kind of funny because I was using an old laptop earlier to recover a partition that Mac fucked up.
Instead of clicking GParted, I accidentally clicked GIMP. For a Core2Duo computer with 4GB RAM, 2 seconds wasn't an exaggeration.
Distro was Manjaro.

Nope this is truth. even with SSD on my part
Same with emacs
It used to be the longest program on *nix to load by quite a wide margin outside of games. But that was on spinning drives...
"That's the power of Fatdog64!"
Actually it seems like even on an SSD GIMP takes a few seconds to load nowadays on Windows and yet Fatdog64 loads it within a second or two. Anyone else tried Fatdog64 or any Puppy Linux OS?
We need to fund this study
In my case Alacritty on Windows 10 takes like 30 seconds to open + 15 seconds waiting for Powershell, on Linux Mint Alacritty + Fish shell takes only 1-2 seconds to open
On Windows for me it takes a solid 5 seconds, on Linux it's barely a second.
