[Thunar-dev] Caching MIME information

[Benedikt Meurer]

In case you are not subscribed to the xdg mailinglist, there was a nice 
post by Matthias Clasen today, who came up with an idea about how to 
cache the MIME database information. See

http://xfce-diary.blogspot.com/2005/03/caching-mime-information.html

I'm not 100% sure if we can/should use it with Thunar, but I think it's 
worth a look, esp. since it could reduce startup time drastically if 
both the icon theme (done automatically by GtkIconTheme) and the mime 
database is cached.

greets,
Benedikt
