Dear GRASS users/devs,
working with a weekly compiled GRASS GIS (against Git repository), for
a couple of days now, I am experiencing a distinct drop in grass GUI
startup speed, without any noticeable error, nor any change in my build
configuration. The splash screen remains visible for nearly 1 minute
before layer manager and map display appear.
What could I do to find what is going wrong ? is there a way to change
the level of verbosity of the startup procedure ?
Thanks,
Vincent.

Most likely you have (several) addons installed?
If so:
There was a bug in g.extension for some weeks which generated multiple
entries in the addons metadata file.
The fastest way to get rid of this issue is
- get list of locally installed addons
- delete $HOME/.grass7/addons
- reinstall the desired addons.
Then speed will be back.

Thank you Markus,
yes indeed g.extension -a would return a long list of duplicate
modules.
for i in `g.extension -a | sort | uniq`;do g.extension extension=$i;
done
and again grass starts lighting-fast !
